What we hold on Spencer, and who keeps its records.
Local profile
Spencer, a place of 31 people, keeps its own council and town business records. The Clark County offices are in Dubois, the county seat. Each Clark County office is listed on our Clark County page.
Abandoned mine records
Where the workings are, and the office that holds the mine maps.
From the old mine records
The old survey maps record 1 hole inside the city or town limits, 0 of them shafts or tunnels.
A point in either file is a location, not a property line: the sheet shows the opening on the surface, not the rooms under it. The record that shows what runs under a parcel is the mine map. The OSMRE National Mine Map Repository holds scanned underground mine maps and answers requests for a named mine or an area.
Idaho abandoned mine maps ranks every county and town in the state by the workings recorded inside it, names the office that holds the mine maps, and says what to do if the ground moves.
Disclaimer: The mine information here is for general information only. Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there. Check with the mine map office named here before you rely on it, and have a qualified engineer look at any ground you are worried about. PublicRecordCenter.com assumes no responsibility or liability for any errors, omissions, or consequences arising from the use of this information.
Straight answers
Open only the answer you need.
Looking is free. Idaho's Public Records Act lets anyone inspect public records, the first two hours of staff time and the first 100 pages cost nothing, and copies beyond that are charged at actual cost. The iCourt Portal is free to search, a certified Idaho birth or death certificate costs $16, and county recorders charge per-page fees for deed copies.
Ask the Spencer police department records clerk for reports if the city has its own force; most small Idaho towns are covered by the Clark County Sheriff's Office, which keeps reports for the area. Crashes worked by the Idaho State Police are requested from the ISP, and Idaho Code 74-124 lets agencies withhold active investigation records.
Cases filed in Clark County are heard by the Idaho District Court and its magistrate division for the county. The iCourt Portal on isc.idaho.gov searches Idaho trial court cases free, and the clerk of the district court sells copies of filed documents.
Deeds, mortgages and plats are recorded by the Clark County Recorder, part of the county clerk's office. The Clark County Assessor sets property values, and the Clark County Treasurer mails tax bills by the fourth Monday in November and collects payments.
Idaho birth, death, marriage and divorce certificates are issued by the state Bureau of Vital Records and Health Statistics, online through VitalChek or by mail, for $16 per copy; the bureau has no public counter. Older marriage records are also kept by the county recorder where the license was issued.
Yes. The Idaho State Police Bureau of Criminal Identification searches Idaho criminal history by name or by fingerprints on request, for a fee. The iCourt Portal also shows criminal court cases by name free.
Idaho agencies generally answer an Idaho resident's request within three working days and may take up to 10 working days when more time is needed. Since July 1, 2024 the Public Records Act allows up to 35 days for requests from nonresidents.
