Utah Quitclaim Deed

About the Box Elder County Recorder

Box Elder County is home to Golden Spike National Historical Park, where the transcontinental railroad's two lines met in 1869, and to the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge along its western edge. Whichever part of the county your property sits in, the fastest way through this office is a deed that's already correctly formatted — anything missing tends to get returned rather than fixed on the spot.

Cities and Communities Served

Recording jurisdiction runs countywide, not by city limits — if the property sits anywhere within Box Elder County, this is the office that will accept the deed. That includes:

Incorporated cities: Brigham City, Bear River City, Corinne, Garland, Honeyville, Perry, Tremonton, and Willard.

Incorporated towns: Deweyville, Elwood, Fielding, Howell, Mantua, Plymouth, Portage, and Snowville.

Unincorporated communities: Collinston, Grouse Creek, Park Valley, Promontory, and Yost.

The Northwestern Band of the Shoshone Nation holds tribal trust land near Washakie.

Office Details

Address: 1 South Main Street
Brigham City, UT 84302

Phone: (435) 734-3395

Hours: Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM

Recording Fee: Set by state statute (Utah Code § 17-71-407), not by Box Elder County individually — a flat amount per document, not a percentage of the property's value. The legislature changed this rate as recently as May 2026, so don't rely on an old printed schedule; the office linked below can give you the current figure.

E-recording: Available through Simplifile, backed by the county's own published Electronic Recording Standards under Utah Code § 17-21-1(4) — this is a real, documented e-recording program, not just a vendor listing.

Good to know before you go: Searching the office's online Eagle Web index before your visit can speed up an in-person request.

Filing Steps for This County

  1. Prepare Your Document: Make sure your deed meets Utah's formatting and content requirements — be aware that a free, generic template is the single biggest reason deeds come back rejected.

  3. Record It: File in person at the Box Elder County's office, or by mail; call to confirm current mail-in and e-recording options.
  4. Pay the Recording Fee: A flat per-document amount set by state statute (Utah Code § 17-71-407), not a percentage of the property's value — call or check the office's website above for the current figure.
  5. Keep Your Receipt: Your recorded document (or a certified copy) is your proof of filing.
