Uintah County (Utah). County Recorder

These are copies of all official records recorded with the county recorder including deeds, mortgages, mining records, military discharges, etc. Upon payment of fees for the same, the recorder must record in the "Official record' book all papers, documents, records, and other writings required or permitted by law to be recorded. In some counties all recorded instruments are compiled together as part of the "Official records", while others compile each type of instrument separately (See Deed records, Mortgage records, Mining records, Water records, etc.)

The official record is a compilation of the records kept as documents registered by the county recorder. Beginning in 1956 records were registered together as well as in separate volumes. Contained in the Official Record are: Abstractor bonds, bills of sale, medical certification records, United States Military discharges, affidavits, powers of attorney, lis pendens, land agreements, redemption certificates, gas and oil leases, deeds, mortgages, mining records, water records, leases, and liens. This series also includes certificates of appointments for bishops and stake presidents in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
