WASHINGTON COUNTY (UTAH). COUNTY RECORDER [1325]

FEE AND ENTRY BOOKS, 1888-1983
7 microfilm reels

A separate agency history is available.

DESCRIPTION: Since 1888 Utah law has required that each county recorder keep an "entry book," in which he must immediately report in order every document he records. (Laws of the Territory of Utah, 1888, chapter XLIX, section 1). Each entry in the Washington County fee and entry books has been assigned a corresponding consecutive file number. Each entry names the parties involved, indicates the kind of transaction (or kind of instrument), and provides a legal description of the property involved. Each entry gives the date the document was created and the date and time it was recorded. It reports book and page numbers where documents were recorded in deed or other official record books and indicates the amount of the fee paid for recording.

ARRANGEMENT: The recorder assigned a file number to each record as he entered it, so entries are in file number order. They are also roughly chronological by date as well.

RELATED RECORDS: The fee and entry books provide a chronological list of all documents recorded in many series, including: MORTGAGES, series 82705; OFFICIAL RECORDS, series 7067; DEEDS (SAINT GEORGE), series 23286; DEEDS (WASHINGTON), series 23262; DEEDS (TOQUERVILLE), series 23265; DEEDS (PINE VALLEY), series 23264; DEEDS (SILVER REEF), series 23263; MINING DEEDS, series 23669; AGREEMENTS AND LEASES, series 84209; WATER CERTIFICATES AND DEEDS, series 23251; AUDITOR'S TAX DEEDS, series 84213 ; CHATTEL MORTGAGES, series 23679; MISCELLANEOUS RECORDS, series 82707; MINING PROOF OF LABOR, series 23671; MINING NOTICES OF LOCATION, series 81372; MILITARY DISCHARGES, series 84234 ; CEMETERY DEEDS, series 19511; and LIENS, series 84264.

PREFERRED CITATION: Cite the Utah State Archives and Records Service, the creating agency name, the series title, and the series number.

GAPS: Entry numbers 222501-222900 are missing. Since dates are not exactly chronological, it is difficult to determine if this represents a corresponding gap in recorded documents.
