Utah County Recorder
About the Utah County Recorder
Utah County is the state's second-most populous and among its fastest-growing in absolute numbers, home to Brigham Young University and the “Silicon Slopes” tech corridor. 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 Utah County, this is the office that will accept the deed. That includes:
Incorporated cities: Provo, Alpine, American Fork, Bluffdale, Cedar Hills, Draper, Eagle Mountain, Elk Ridge, Highland, Lehi, Lindon, Mapleton, Orem, Payson, Pleasant Grove, Salem, Santaquin, Saratoga Springs, Spanish Fork, Springville, Vineyard, and Woodland Hills.
Incorporated towns: Cedar Fort, Fairfield, Genola, Goshen, and Spring Lake.
Unincorporated communities: Birdseye, Colton, Vivian Park, Benjamin, Elberta, and Lake Shore.
Bluffdale and Draper straddle the Utah/Salt Lake County line, and Santaquin straddles the Utah/Juab County line — confirm which county's recorder applies to your specific parcel before you file. Spring Lake incorporated as a town very recently (early 2026); confirm it's still reflected correctly if you're reading this well after publication.
Office Details
Address: 100 East Center St., Suite 1300
Provo, UT 84606
Phone: (801) 851-8179
Hours: Monday – Friday, 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM
Recording Fee: Set by state statute (Utah Code § 17-71-407), not by Utah County individually — a flat amount per document, not a percentage of the property's value. Utah County is one of two counties (with Salt Lake) carved out of a May 2026 statewide rate change at a different amount than the rest of the state. The office linked below can give you the current figure.
E-recording: Simplifile e-recording is listed for the county through the vendor's own network page — worth a quick confirmation call since the county's own recorder page doesn't spell out a vendor.
How to File a Document
- 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.
- Get It Notarized: Have the document acknowledged before a Utah notary public. No notary nearby in Provo? Utah allows remote online notarization — you can notarize your Utah County deed online instead.
- Record It: File in person at the Utah County's office, or by mail; call to confirm current mail-in and e-recording options.
- 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.
- Keep Your Receipt: Your recorded document (or a certified copy) is your proof of filing.
