Recorder

The Recorder, upon payment of the proper fees and taxes, accepts for recordation any instrument, paper, or notice which is authorized or required by law to be recorded. Prior to recordation, these documents must contain sufficient information to be indexed as required by statute and be photographically reproducible.

In addition, the Recorder maintains and indexes the vital records of birth, death, and marriage certificates. The recording system exists to serve public needs and to provide public protection.
