Tooele County record routes for property, courts, licenses and county decisions

Use the County Clerk for county business and marriage records

Tooele County's Clerk maintains the historical record of county-conducted business, assists with County Council records and conducts elections with the Utah Lieutenant Governor's office. The clerk's service routes include contracts, agreements, resolutions, ordinances, disclosures and marriage licenses.

Choose the existing record route before submitting a GRAMA request

The clerk's Record Requests screen first separates marriage licenses and property searches from its GRAMA request link for other records. That routing matters when the desired item already belongs to a specialist index or copy service. For example, a recorded deed reference can be taken to the Recorder/Surveyor, while a county agreement can be described through the county request channel. County record-request routes.

If a request concerns a meeting decision, include the meeting date and agenda subject so the custodian can distinguish a draft, approved minutes and the underlying agreement.

Find a recorded instrument without asking the recorder to create one

Tooele's Recorder/Surveyor records land documents and maps, maintains cross-reference indexes, retrieves records for public viewing and provides copies and certifications.

Staff can help locate records and real-property parcels on ownership plats, but the office states that it does not prepare or interpret legal documents, perform public title searches, supply private surveying services or stake private boundaries. A copy request should therefore identify the existing record needed. A separate survey or title investigation may be necessary when the question goes beyond locating and reproducing the recorded material. Source: tooeleco.gov

Check the Recorder portal product before buying image access
