Morton County Recorder

The County Recorder's office is one of the offices formally organized by the Constitutional Convention of 1889, and in some counties existed as part of the Territorial Offices. The Morton County Recorder is an elected office for a four-year term, which begins January 1.  The Recorder's office is responsible for recording, preserving, and providing public access to Morton County Real Estate documents.

 

The information filed and recorded in the Recorder's office is used by the auditor, treasurer, commissioners and other county officials, along with the general public and business entities. The real estate record is the basis for the auditor's assessment rolls and the tax collection process of the treasurer.
