Utah Quitclaim Deed

About the Grand County Recorder

Grand County is home to Moab, Arches National Park, and part of Canyonlands National Park — one of the most tourism- and second-home-driven real estate markets in the state. 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 Grand County, this is the office that will accept the deed. That includes:

Incorporated cities: Moab.

Incorporated towns: Castle Valley.

Unincorporated communities: Castleton, Cisco, Dewey, Westwater, and Thompson Springs.

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

Good to know before you go: If you're recording a Record of Survey, email it to the office ahead of your visit.

How to File a Document

  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 Moab? Utah allows remote online notarization — you can notarize your Grand County deed online instead.
  3. Record It: File in person at the Grand 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.
