Utah Quitclaim Deed

About the Tooele County Recorder

Tooele County is home to the Bonneville Salt Flats and Dugway Proving Ground, and has been one of Utah's faster-growing counties by percentage in recent years. 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 Tooele County, this is the office that will accept the deed. That includes:

Incorporated cities: Tooele, Erda, Grantsville, Lake Point, and Wendover.

Incorporated towns: Rush Valley, Stockton, and Vernon.

Unincorporated communities: Faust, Gold Hill, Ibapah, Knolls, Terra, Dugway, Ophir, and Stansbury Park.

The Skull Valley Indian Reservation (Skull Valley Band of Goshute Indians) is entirely within the county, and part of the Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Reservation also lies here.

Recording Fee: Set by state statute (Utah Code § 17-71-407), not by Tooele 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 doesn't offer notary service, legal advice, or document preparation — come with something already complete and notarized.

  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.
