The elective office of the COUNTY RECORDER was the first office created by the Constitution of the State of Indiana in 1816.  It is the primary duty of the COUNTY RECORDER to record instruments submitted for recording and maintain those records for perpetuity.  Indiana recorders have been recording and maintaining documents for over 193 years!  Documents recorded in the recorders office include deeds, mortgages, releases and assignments of mortgages,miscellaneous liens, federal tax liens, and military discharges just to name a few.  All documents are public records with the exception of military discharges (DD214s).  Records are available to the public by photocopies, microfiche, or digital scanned images.

Mortgage fraud is one of the fastest growing white-collar crimes currently in the United States. Unfortunately, it has become all too easy for a criminal to record a fraudulent deed in your local recorder's office making it appear as if they own your home. Once the fraudulent deed is recorded your home can be used as collateral on a mortgage or a criminal may even attempt to sell your home to an unsuspecting buyer.

Property Fraud Alert is a notification service that alerts subscribers (via email or phone contact) each time a document is recorded with their name on it in the participating County Land Records office. The subscriber must select one method of notification, either an email address or a phone number.
