Utah Quitclaim Deed

About the Morgan County Recorder

One of Utah's smaller, more rural counties by population, Morgan sits along the I-84 corridor as a bedroom community between Ogden and Salt Lake City. 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 Morgan County, this is the office that will accept the deed. That includes:

Incorporated cities: Morgan.

Unincorporated communities: Croydon, Peterson, Porterville, Richville, Enterprise, and Mountain Green.

Office Details

(mail: PO Box 886)
Morgan, UT 84050

Phone: (801) 829-3277

Hours: Monday – Friday, 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM (e-recording accepted until 4:30 PM)

Recording Fee: Set by state statute (Utah Code § 17-71-407), not by Morgan 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 and CSC are both listed as available e-recording vendors for the county.

Good to know before you go: The office doesn't provide recording forms, legal advice, or notarization — come with a document that's already complete.

Steps to Record Your Deed Here

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