Iron County Recorder: Deeds & Records

The Recorder also maintains ownership plats that help identify parcels, acreage, owners, addresses and taxing units.

These maps support property assessment and tax administration, but the Recorder does not determine the property’s taxable value.

Iron County has separate departments for land documents, property valuation and property taxes.

Picking the right office can save time, especially if you are researching property in Cedar City, Enoch, Parowan or an unincorporated area.

Iron County uses EagleWeb to help residents search land records and property information.

You can search available records without paying a search fee.

EagleWeb offers two different searches: Document Search and Account Search.

Step-by-step: Find a recorded deed

1. Open the official EagleWeb website.

   Use the county’s public property and recorded-document search.

2. Select Document Search.

   This section searches recorded legal instruments rather than property-tax account summaries.

3. Choose a search method.

   Use a party name, entry number, parcel number, book and page, subdivision or recording date.

4. Enter the search details.

   For a name search, use the person’s or company’s name as recorded on the instrument.

   The portal provides fields for document types and date ranges when you need to narrow results.

5. Review the matching results.

   Select a matching record to view its available index details.

6. Save the document reference.

   Note the entry number or other recording information before requesting a document image or certified copy.

Search using a recording number

If you already have an entry number from a closing packet, title report or earlier deed, use that number in Document Search.

This can be more accurate than searching common names.

Search using a parcel number

EagleWeb provides a Parcel Number field.

The county’s public search displays examples of Iron County parcel serial numbers, including formats such as 4-324A-3.

Enter the complete serial number when you have it.

Search by document type

If you want a deed rather than every type of recording, remove the option to search all document types.

Then select the available deed category or other relevant instrument type.

If you only know a property’s street address, start with Account Search instead of looking for a deed immediately.

Iron County’s EagleWeb property accounts can show owners, assessed values, taxes, legal descriptions and documents associated with a parcel.

1. Open the EagleWeb property portal.

   Use the official Iron County property-account website.

2. Choose Account Search.

   This section searches property account information.

3. Enter the identifying details.

   Use the available owner, address, parcel or account-number fields.

4. Check the matching parcel.

   Compare the property location, owner and parcel serial number.

5. Switch to Document Search.

   Use the parcel number or recorded party’s name to locate relevant deeds.

The Recorder’s Office preserves instruments affecting real estate in Iron County.

Different document types answer different property questions.

Deed vs. trust deed

These documents are not interchangeable.

A deed typically conveys an ownership interest. A trust deed typically secures repayment of a real-estate obligation.

If you are verifying a paid-off mortgage, search for a reconveyance or other appropriate release, not only the original deed.

Iron County provides copies of recorded documents and plats.

The public EagleWeb search helps you locate a record, but it does not provide the scanned document image for free online viewing.

Request an ordinary copy

Request a certified copy

Certified copies are used when a court, lender, government agency or other institution needs official Recorder certification.

Tell the office that you need a certified copy instead of an ordinary document copy.

The Iron County Recorder accepts legally recordable instruments that meet Utah’s recording requirements.

The office cannot prepare deeds, choose a deed type or provide legal advice.

1. Prepare the correct legal document.

   Use the appropriate deed or other legal instrument for the transaction.

   Consult a Utah attorney or qualified title professional when ownership, inheritance, a trust or a business entity is involved.

2. Complete signatures and acknowledgment.

   Iron County requires original signatures and a notary for standard recordable instruments.

   Electronic recording follows applicable Utah electronic-recording law.

3. Include the legal description.

   The county requires a legible legal description of the property.

   Use the correct legal description rather than relying only on a street address.

4. Include the property serial number.

   Iron County requests the property’s serial or parcel identification number on recording documents.

5. Include the grantee’s mailing address.

   If the document transfers a property interest, the grantee’s mailing address must be included.

6. Leave space for the recording stamp.

   Reserve a clear area measuring 2½ inches down by 4½ inches across in the upper-right corner of the first page.

   The county also requires a 1-inch bottom margin on each succeeding page.

7. Calculate and prepare the fees.

   The standard recording fee is $45 per document under the county’s current schedule.

   Additional legal descriptions can increase the cost.

8. Submit the instrument to the Recorder.

   Use the office in Parowan or an accepted electronic-recording method.

   Confirm the current mailing, payment and return-document instructions before sending originals.

Iron County’s Recorder page identifies an updated fee schedule effective May 6, 2026.

Utah’s recording system generally charges by document rather than using the separate first-page and additional-page pricing common in some other states.

Simple recording example

What if a deed contains 13 legal descriptions?

The schedule adds $2 for each description beyond 10.

A standard instrument with 13 countable descriptions would generally cost $45 + $6 = $51.

The Iron County Recorder also serves as the county surveyor’s office.

It maintains ownership plats and provides access to subdivision and survey-related resources.

What does an ownership plat show?

The county says its ownership plats identify land ownership, parcel acreage, parcel addresses, taxing units and owner addresses.

This makes the plats useful for locating property and matching the correct serial number to a recorded document.

The Recorder’s Office is at the Iron County government complex in Parowan.

Residents of Cedar City, Enoch, Brian Head and surrounding areas use the same county Recorder for land records.

What to bring

Iron County offers a property-record monitoring service called Property Watch / Fraud Guard.

It helps owners monitor new recordings that may affect property or involve information they have registered.

The service can be especially useful if you own vacant land, a second home or property you do not visit often.

1. Open the official Fraud Guard service.

   Follow the county’s Property Watch link.

2. Review the registration instructions.

   Use the fields and verification steps currently provided by the portal.

3. Register the applicable monitoring information.

   Add the property or owner information supported by the service.

4. Investigate unfamiliar recordings.

   Contact the Recorder promptly if an alert concerns a document you do not recognize.

Iron County Recorder records qualifying military discharge documents.

The county states that military discharge recording and certified copies of those discharge documents are provided without charge.

Access to military discharge records may be restricted under applicable state and federal privacy rules.
