Yuba County Recorder: Search Deeds, Liens & Official Records
Looking for a recorded deed in Marysville, Wheatland, Linda, Olivehurst, Plumas Lake or another part of Yuba County? The Yuba County Clerk-Recorder maintains the county’s official recorded documents. You can search its public index online without visiting the office.
There is one important limitation: Yuba County does not display recorded document images to the general public online. Its EagleWeb service provides searchable index information, while document images can be viewed at the Recorder’s Office or obtained through the official copy-request process.

How Do You Search Yuba County Recorder Records?
Open the official Yuba County EagleWeb Recorded Document Search, acknowledge its disclaimer, and choose Public Users. Search by grantor, grantee, document number, date range or document type. The online index begins January 3, 1989.
Search Deeds Online
EagleWeb searches indexed documents by names and recording details. It supports Basic and Advanced name searches, wildcard characters and document-type filters.
See exact search instructions →View or Order a Deed
Online public users can locate index entries but cannot view recorded images through the free public search. Use the public research area or request a copy from the Recorder.
See copy-request workflow →Find Older Records
Researching an 1800s deed or a pre-1989 transfer? Yuba County maintains a separate historical index resource covering deed and official-record indexes dating back to 1850.
Search historical indexes →How to Search Yuba County Deeds Online — Step by Step
Unlike some California recorder portals, Yuba County’s EagleWeb search offers useful name-search controls that can help locate a deed even when you only know part of a person’s name.
Open the Official EagleWeb Portal
Visit Yuba County Recorded Document Search. Read the disclaimer and select I Acknowledge to continue.
Select Public Users
On the login screen, choose the Public Users button. You do not need to use the registered-user subscription login for the ordinary free public index search.
Registered users may have separate subscription privileges. Do not assume those privileges apply to the public search.
Choose Grantor, Grantee or Both
Use the Grantor field for a person or entity transferring an interest, the Grantee field for the recipient, or Grantor/Grantee to search names in either field.
For an older deed, try the previous owner’s name first. For a recent purchase, check both the seller and buyer.
Use the Correct Name Format
Yuba County’s EagleWeb Help page says Basic Search requires names in last-name-first order. Advanced Search is more flexible about word order, but may produce broader results.
Narrow by Document Type or Recording Date
To limit document types, uncheck Search All Types and choose the relevant type or types. You can also specify a date range. If you know the exact recording date, enter that date in both the start and end fields.
Search Directly by Document Number
If you already have an official document number from a title report, older deed reference or other document, enter it in the Document Number field. This avoids searching through similar personal names.
Review and Save the Index Details
Compare the grantor, grantee, document type, recording date and document number. Keep those details for your records or a copy request.
The public index will not provide the full document image. Do not mistake the search summary for the recorded deed itself.
Visit the Recorder or Request Copies
If you need to read the complete deed, use the public research area at 915 8th Street, Suite 107, Marysville, or contact the Recorder about obtaining a copy. If an agency requires a certified copy, request certification explicitly.
Yuba Recorder Name Search: Basic, Advanced and Wildcards
| Search Method | How It Works in EagleWeb | When to Use It |
|---|---|---|
| Grantor | Finds the entered name in the grantor index field. | Checking a seller, previous owner or transferor. |
| Grantee | Finds the entered name in the grantee index field. | Checking a buyer, recipient or new owner. |
| Grantor/Grantee | Searches either indexed party field. | When you are unsure which side of a document contains the name. |
| Basic Name Search | Searches words in the entered order. The help page instructs users to enter last name first. | When the exact surname and given name are known. |
| Advanced Name Search | Searches the terms more broadly without requiring the same word order. | When Basic Search produces no match. |
| Wildcard * | The asterisk represents one or more unknown characters. | When spelling is uncertain or the name has multiple variants. |
| Document Number | Searches using a known recording number. | When the reference appears in a deed, title report or other recorded instrument. |
| Date Range | Limits the search to specified recording dates. | When you know approximately when the document was recorded. |
Wildcard Search Example
Suppose the recorded name could be Benjamin Franklin or Ben Frank. Yuba County’s own search-help example uses the Basic Search expression:
The asterisks allow additional characters and can produce matches for name variations.
Advanced Search Operators
EagleWeb supports operators to refine broad Advanced searches. The + operator requires a term, while the – operator excludes a term.
Check the official Help page for the system’s exact operator behavior before interpreting results.
How to Find Yuba County Deeds Recorded Before 1989
The EagleWeb index starts on January 3, 1989. That does not mean older Yuba County deeds are unavailable. Historical deed indexes are provided separately through Yuba County’s local history and archives resources.
Deeds Index: 1850–1928
Use Yuba County’s historical deed index to research much older conveyances, including nineteenth-century records.
Grantor Index: 1928–1988
Search names of people or entities indexed as transferors in the historical official-record index.
Grantee Index: 1928–1988
Use this separate historical index when searching for a person or entity that received an interest.
Official Yuba Historical Index Search
County Library Local History & Archives.
- Open the Yuba County Library’s Local History & Archives page.
- Find Yuba Historical Index Search.
- Choose the deeds index (1850–1928) or the grantor/grantee official-record index (1928–1988).
- Search the appropriate name and note any reference to book, page or historical document information.
- Contact the Recorder if you need the actual underlying document or a certified copy.
How to Get a Copy or Certified Deed From the Yuba County Recorder
If you need the recorded pages for a loan, estate proceeding, property dispute or title examination, the public index alone will not be enough. Yuba County makes recorded images available for research at the office and provides copies of official records.
Find the Correct Recording Reference
Search EagleWeb by name, date or document number. Write down the document number, date, document type and indexed names.
Choose Plain or Certified Copy
A standard copy reproduces the recorded pages. A certified copy includes the Recorder’s certification and is often needed when another government office, court or institution requires an officially certified record.
Contact or Visit the Recorder
Call (530) 749-7850 to confirm the current request procedure, available delivery methods, payment methods and total cost. The public research area is open during the office’s regular weekday hours, excluding holidays.
Yuba County Deed Recording Requirements
A deed must be properly prepared before it is submitted. The Recorder checks statutory recording requirements but does not provide legal advice, draft a deed or guarantee that a recorded document effectively transfers title.
What to Check Before Submission
- Original signatures or a certified copy where permitted by law.
- Acknowledgment using the proper California notarial format when required.
- Readable pages, exhibits and notary information.
- Document title or titles on the first page below the reserved recording space.
- Future tax statement mailing name and address on a deed conveying fee title.
- Prior recording reference on instruments that modify, release or cancel earlier recorded documents.
- Appropriate declaration of any SB2 recording-fee exemption.
What the Recorder Does Not Provide
Yuba County’s Forms & Resources page states that the Clerk-Recorder does not provide legal forms or notarial services.
If you need a new grant deed, quitclaim deed, affidavit or other legal instrument, obtain the correct form from a reliable source and seek professional advice when the consequences of recording are uncertain.
Review official forms and resources ↗Yuba County Recording Fees, Copy Fees and Transfer Tax
The county publishes its recording and copy-fee schedule online. These are listed county charges; a particular document can have extra fees or exemptions based on its content and transaction.
| Service | Published Amount | Important Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Regular recording, first page | $16 | The schedule notes a $2 exemption adjustment for recordings exempt from SB2 fees. |
| Each additional recording page | $3 | Standard 8½ × 11 inch page. |
| Additional document title | $16 | Applies to combined documents, subject to the published fee provisions. |
| SB2 Building Homes and Jobs Act fee | $75 | Per applicable document/parcel provisions, maximum $225 per transaction; valid statutory exemptions may apply. |
| Documentary transfer tax | $0.55 per $500 | Or fraction thereof, on the taxable consideration or value, unless exempt. |
| Survey monument fee | $10 | May apply to certain grant deeds. |
| PCOR missing at recording | $20 | Applies when the required Preliminary Change of Ownership Report is not filed at recording. |
| Official-record copy, first page | $3 | Per document. |
| Additional copy page | $1 | Each additional page of the same document. |
| Certification | $3 | Per document. |
| Conformed copy | $1 | Customer must provide the copy. |
Illustration: A Three-Page Recording
If a document has three standard pages, the basic fee calculation from the published schedule is:
This is only a base-fee example. SB2, survey monument, transfer tax, nonconforming pages and other applicable fees may change the total.
SB2 Fee: Don’t Assume Every Deed Is Charged
California Government Code §27388.1 provides the framework for the SB2 Building Homes and Jobs Act recording charge and its exemptions.
Yuba County directs filers to include a valid exemption declaration on the document or cover page when applicable. Without a valid declaration, the charge may be assessed.
PCOR, Documentary Transfer Tax and Deed Corrections
Preliminary Change of Ownership Report
Many property transfers require a Preliminary Change of Ownership Report (PCOR) submitted with the document. It assists the Assessor in evaluating changes in ownership and potential reassessment.
When the required PCOR is not filed at recording, the county lists a $20 fee.
Documentary Transfer Tax
Yuba County lists a tax of $0.55 per $500 of taxable value or consideration, or fraction thereof. Some transfers qualify for exemptions; the applicable statutory reason should be properly established.
Do not assume every deed is taxable merely because it transfers a recorded interest.
Correction of a Recorded Document
Yuba County’s Forms & Resources page lists a Recorded Document Minor Correction Affidavit. A minor correction procedure should not be used to attempt a major change in property ownership.
Consult the preparing professional or a qualified California real-estate attorney if the error affects the actual transfer.
Official Forms and Recording Requirements
Use the county’s instructions before filing, not an outdated third-party deed template.
- Find the Recorder Information section.
- Review Deed Information, General Recording Requirements and SB2 Fee Notice.
- Choose Recorded Document Minor Correction Affidavit only if it is appropriate for the type of correction involved.
- Confirm the required signatures, acknowledgments and supporting documents before recording.

Why Your Yuba County Deed Search May Fail
Names Do Not Match
- Use last name first in Basic Search.
- Try the Grantor/Grantee combined field.
- Switch to Advanced Search for broader matching.
- Use an asterisk wildcard for uncertain spelling.
- Search a prior owner, trust or business name where relevant.
The Document Is Missing
- Expand the recording-date range.
- Remove document-type filters.
- Search by the exact document number when known.
- Check whether the record predates January 3, 1989.
- Use historical indexes for records before 1989.
- Ask the Recorder for further assistance locating older references.
What Should You Do With Your Yuba County Recorder Results?
If You Found the Correct Deed
Save the recording date, document number and names. Visit the public research area or request a copy to inspect the complete legal description and recorded instrument.
If You Found a Lien
Review the document and search for any related release. Yuba County advises contacting the party that recorded a lien when seeking its removal or release; the Recorder’s Office cannot remove it for you.
If the Ownership Information Looks Wrong
Compare the deed with your closing or estate paperwork. For assessment-roll discrepancies, contact the Assessor. For a substantive error in an instrument, consult the title company or legal professional about a lawful correction.
If You Need an Older Title History
Check historical grantor/grantee indexes and trace each relevant transfer by recording reference. Consider a title professional when relying on the chain of title for a purchase, refinance, inheritance or dispute.
