About the Bonner County Recording Office
Land records in Bonner County are recorded by the Recording Office. The office is held by Michael W. Rosedale.
Documents with recording dates of July 1, 1986 to current are available online; earlier records require an in-office search of the index books. Documents are indexed to name and by recording date, not to property. Staff can show how to research between 8:30 a.m. and 3:30 p.m., Monday through Friday (excluding holidays).
