Utah Quitclaim Deed

About the Daggett County Recorder

Daggett is Utah's least populous county — well under a thousand residents — and home to the Flaming Gorge Reservoir and National Recreation Area. Wherever you're filing from, get your paperwork formatted correctly the first time — a deed with something missing typically gets handed back rather than fixed on the spot, so it pays to come in ready.

Cities and Communities Served

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

Filing Steps for This County

  1. Prepare Your Document: Make sure your deed meets Utah's formatting and content requirements — be aware, a generic free template is the most common reason deeds get bounced.
  2. Get It Notarized: Have the document acknowledged before a Utah notary public. No notary nearby in Manila? Utah allows remote online notarization — you can notarize your Daggett County deed online instead.
  3. Record It: File in person at the Daggett 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.
