Utah Quitclaim Deed

About the Carbon County Recorder

Carbon County was historically the center of Utah's coal-mining industry, and Price is home to a Utah State University Eastern campus. The office moves quickly when paperwork is in order, but a deed with something missing is more likely to get returned than corrected on the spot — worth double-checking before you go.

Cities and Communities Served

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

Incorporated cities: Price, East Carbon, Helper, and Wellington.

Incorporated towns: Scofield.

Unincorporated communities: Carbonville, Clear Creek, Kenilworth, and Spring Glen.

A small portion of the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation extends into the county.

Recording Fee: Set by state statute (Utah Code § 17-71-407), not by Carbon 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: Confirmed directly on the county's own site: Carbon County has partnered with Simplifile for e-recording.

Good to know before you go: You can submit in person, by mail, or through e-recording (Simplifile); mailed originals typically come back in 5–7 business days.

How to File a Document

  1. Prepare Your Document: Make sure your deed meets Utah's formatting and content requirements — be aware that a generic free form is what trips up most rejected deeds.
  2. Get It Notarized: Have the document acknowledged before a Utah notary public. No notary nearby in Price? Utah allows remote online notarization — you can notarize your Carbon County deed online instead.
  3. Record It: File in person at the Carbon 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.
