Utah Quitclaim Deed

About the Summit County Recorder

Summit County is home to Park City and the Sundance Film Festival, making it one of Utah's most affluent counties and a major ski-resort and second-home real estate market — property transfers between family members and trusts on vacation properties are common here. 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 Summit County, this is the office that will accept the deed. That includes:

Incorporated cities: Coalville, Francis, Kamas, Oakley, and Park City.

Incorporated towns: Henefer.

Unincorporated communities: Grass Creek, Rockport, Echo, Hoytsville, Marion, Peoa, Snyderville, Summit Park, Wanship, and Woodland.

Park City straddles the Summit/Wasatch County line — which county's recorder applies depends on which side of the line a specific parcel sits, so confirm before you file.

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