Salt Lake County Property Search

A Salt Lake County Property Record is a document containing information about the real estate property or plots of land in Salt Lake County, Utah. Some of the most important information in this document includes the deed and titles, property taxes, sales and transfer history, tax records, surveys, permits, rights, and restrictions. Members of the public can access information about Salt Lake County property using details such as:

  • The official names of the owner
  • Addresses of the guarantor and guarantee
  • The location of the property
  • The current structural and financial status of the property.

There are third-party websites approved to allow interested members easily access these property records in the county. However, the document is issued to the county resident with the approval of the Utah County Recorder’s Office. This office is responsible for maintaining and preserving Salt Lake County Public Records, including property records.

The County Recorder’s Office is also responsible for the following:

  • Storing and retrieving land and property documents
  • Providing certified copies of land documents at no fee
  • Assisting members of the public in searching for property records
  • Assisting members of the public in locating real property under one or more ownerships
  • Ensure that the available information in the electronic document is accurate

Per the Utah Code, UCA 17-21-1(4), there is a standard for submitting documents to the Recorder’s Office through electronic means. All documents must meet the following:

  • According to (UCA 57-3-105), the document must include the names and mail information of the guarantee
  • It must be clear enough for the recorder to make copies
  • The document must also include a legal description
  • According to (UCA 17-21-20), the document should include a short and precise title or heading on the first page of the document
  • Each document must have a margin of one inch on the right and left sides, even at the bottom space
  • Must be printed in black ink and should not have text smaller than five to seven lines text
  • According to (UCA 57-3-101), it must include a notary certificate with words like sworn or subscribed, before the officer can approve.

Note that property documents based on Salt Lake County's electronic index begin from 1990 till date. Information about any property in the county before this period may not be available online or may require a proper search in the Recorder's Office.

Are Salt Lake County Property Records Public?

Yes. According to Utah’s FOIA law, there are no restrictions to members of the public that may want to access property records online. One may also choose to purchase these records in person at the office. They are made available to eligible and interested members of the public. Unlike other counties in Utah, the Salt Lake County Recorder’s Office does not charge for making copies of these records online.

Various government agencies in Utah record property documents that are not only open for viewing but also available to members of the public for inspection. Documents exempted from the public record law may include private property information about individuals and government officials. They are considered confidential to avoid security problems. Some of this private property information include:

  • Change in ownership details
  • Property or land statement details
  • Conversations and decisions with taxpayers for follow up
  • Property appraisals, feasibility estimates, and property acquisition evaluations
  • Social security numbers
  • Questionnaires on income and expense marketing analysis.

It may be easy for members of the public to access property records through third-party sites. However, these sites are not government-affiliated and so the information found in each record may vary. The following details should be included to get hold of complete property records:

  • Accurate details of the property owner
  • Location details of the property
