Kansas Register of Deeds Association

The Register of Deeds office is responsible for the filing of deeds, but did you know that this office also records several hundred different kinds of documents? Some of them are:

mortgages
mortgage releases
oil and gas leases
plats
military discharge records
power of attorneys
corporation records
cemetery records, and
many other instruments.

A number of steps are taken when a document is presented or mailed for recording.

The document is examined for any apparent error, then given a time, book and page number and entered by name and legal description in various indexes.

The indexes are used to provide easy access to the land records. Attorneys, financial institutions, buyers, sellers, real estate developers, surveyors, landlords, tenants and abstract and title insurance companies, all rely upon the correct recording of instruments relating to real estate.

All records in the Register of Deeds office are required by law to be open to public inspection during regular business hours.

All of the services offered by the Register of Deeds office are fee based, these fees being set by state statute.

The Register of Deeds office generates a sizable income that is deposited into the county general fund and administered by the Board of County Commissioners.

The Register of Deeds office does not make deeds, and the office can not use addresses to determine legal descriptions.
