About the Kiowa County Clerk and Recorder
Land records in Kiowa County are recorded by the County Clerk and Recorder. The office is held by Adrienne Yates.
Recorded documents from January 2000 to the current day can be researched online by reception number, document type, legal description, or grantor/grantee name. A historical records research site covers recorded documents from Patent up to December 2005, searchable by book and page or grantor/grantee name. Requests for recorded documents must include the reception number or book and page number; the office cannot research records.
