Utah Quitclaim Deed

About the Davis County Recorder

Davis County is Utah's smallest county by land area despite being one of its most densely populated, thanks to its spot in the Salt Lake City metro corridor and Hill Air Force Base. 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 Davis County, this is the office that will accept the deed. That includes:

Incorporated cities: Bountiful, Centerville, Clearfield, Clinton, Farmington, Fruit Heights, Kaysville, Layton, North Salt Lake, South Weber, Sunset, Syracuse, West Bountiful, West Point, and Woods Cross.

Davis County is almost entirely incorporated — there's very little unincorporated land left to speak of.

Recording Fee: Set by state statute (Utah Code § 17-71-407), not by Davis 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: Simplifile e-recording is listed for Davis County, though some sources describe availability as still rolling out — call the office to confirm status before you rely on it.

Steps to Record Your Deed Here

  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.
  2. Get It Notarized: Have the document acknowledged before a Utah notary public. No notary nearby in Farmington? Utah allows remote online notarization — you can notarize your Davis County deed online instead.
  3. Record It: File in person at the Davis 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.
