The main function of the office is to keep the real property (land) records for Wasatch County and provide the county assessor and treasurer’s office with information necessary for assessment and taxation.
Records
The Wasatch County Recorder’s Office contains the historical land records from 1862. In 1914, Duchesne County was created from the eastern half of Wasatch County; those land records are in the Duchesne County Recorder’s Office.
The land records have either been computerized, microfilmed, or remain in book format. Most of the original books are stored off-site in a vault for safekeeping. The land records are open to the public in the Recorder’s office for viewing, searching, and making copies.
