Utah Quitclaim Deed

About the Rich County Recorder

Rich County holds the Utah portion of Bear Lake, a strikingly turquoise-colored lake and a major recreation draw, in one of the state's most sparsely populated counties. 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 Rich County, this is the office that will accept the deed. That includes:

Incorporated towns: Randolph, Garden City, Laketown, and Woodruff.

Office Details

Address: Rich County Courthouse
20 S. Main
(mail: PO Box 322)
Randolph, UT 84064

Phone: (435) 793-2005

Hours: Monday – Friday, 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM

Recording Fee: Set by state statute (Utah Code § 17-71-407), not by Rich 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: The county's own site states it's now live on Hopdox rather than Simplifile — a different e-recording vendor — so confirm which vendor(s) they currently accept before assuming.

Good to know before you go: The office now accepts documents electronically through a service called Hopdox, so an in-person visit isn't your only option.

Filing Steps for This County

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