ANNOUNCEMENTS
August 2021: eRecording of non-transfer documents is now available in Switzerland County! The Recorder's Office is working with CSC, ePN, and Simplifile to allow documents to be sent electronically, processed for recording, and returned to the submitter digitally. This new process will save both time and money for the Recorder and submitters.
August 2021: Online public access is now available! The Recorder's Office has switched their Land Records Management System to CSI's Title 1 and we now offer online public access through Doxpop. Included with the Doxpop system is the ability to set a watch on your property to help prevent fraud. |
The Recorder is a constitutional officer. Their primary duty is to maintain permanent public records submitted for recording. These documents, sometimes called instruments, include mortgages, deeds, liens, military discharges, subdivisions plats, leases, public and private bonds, personal property, and powers of attorney.
Instruments are recorded either for giving legal public notice of their existence or for safekeeping and future reference.
It is the duty of the recorder to see that each instrument meets the essential requirements for recording. Each instrument must be scanned and indexed into a computer system and then microfilmed for archival purposes.
The county recorder prepares and furnishes official copies of any record or instruments when required by law or ordered by the court, or requested by any parties. And if requested the recorder certifies that it is a true and correct copy of the document in the records of the office.
The recorder may under IC 32-21-2-3 acknowledge any conveyance, mortgage or instrument of writing to be recorded.
The county recorder files Uniform Commercial Code financing statements that pertain to fixtures to the real property. They also conduct searches on names presented to them by a financial institution or company.
The recorder is a member of the county commission on public records, which has authority over the preservation or disposition of all public records maintained by the county.
We DO Not preform searches or give legal advice.
