Utah Quitclaim Deed

About the Duchesne County Recorder

Duchesne County sits in the Uinta Basin, a major oil-and-gas producing region of the state — which means mineral-interest questions come up more often here than in most Utah counties. No matter where in the county you're filing from, showing up with a properly formatted deed saves a second trip — this office typically hands back anything that's missing something rather than fixing it for you.

Cities and Communities Served

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

Incorporated cities: Duchesne, Myton, and Roosevelt.

Incorporated towns: Altamont, and Tabiona.

Unincorporated communities: Fruitland, Hanna, Mountain Home, Talmage, Bluebell, and Neola.

Much of the county lies within the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation, the historical core of the 1861 Uintah Reservation.

Recording Fee: Set by state statute (Utah Code § 17-71-407), not by Duchesne 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 as available for the county.

Good to know before you go: The office won't prepare documents or give legal advice, and every document needs a tax parcel number (APN) for each affected property.

How to File a Document

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