Utah Quitclaim Deed

About the Kane County Recorder

Kane County's seat, Kanab, is nicknamed “Little Hollywood” for its long history as a Western-movie filming location, and the county holds the east entrance to Zion National Park. 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 Kane County, this is the office that will accept the deed. That includes:

Incorporated cities: Kanab.

Incorporated towns: Alton, Big Water, Glendale, and Orderville.

Unincorporated communities: Duck Creek Village, Mount Carmel, and Mount Carmel Junction.

Office Details

Address: 76 North Main Street
Kanab, UT 84741

Phone: (435) 644-2360

Hours: Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM (recording cuts off at 4:30 PM)

Recording Fee: Set by state statute (Utah Code § 17-71-407), not by Kane 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 hold documents for you to finish later — only bring or send documents that are already ready to record.

How to File a Document

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