Park County Recorder Information

The County Clerk is responsible for recording and maintaining records related to real property situated in Park County.

These government fees are separate from any Deeds.com service fees. Confirm current charges with the recorder's office.

As per Wyoming Statute 18-3-402 (XVI), effective July 1, 2013:

To record the first page of a document, the fee is $12. Each additional page is $3.

For an instrument with more than 5 grantors or grantees of a different surname, a $1 fee will apply to each additional name.

For each section, lot, block, or tract in excess of 10, a $1 fee will apply to each additional description.

For any instrument containing more than 2 real estate descriptions by book and page, there is a $2 fee for each additional reference.

Confirm current requirements with the recorder's office before submitting documents.

- All documents must be originals or certified copies and must be acknowledged (notarized) in accordance with Wyoming law.

- Documents must be clearly readable and reproducible. For best results, use black ink with a font size of at least 12 point.

- Corresponding names should be typed or printed beneath signatures, except for the notary and witnesses.

- At the top of the first page, provide a 3 inch top margin. This should be left blank for recording purposes. All other margins should be at least 1 inch.

- A document title should indicate the nature of the recordable event. The title should be given after the 3-inch top margin.

- Documents needing to be abstracted need to have a valid legal description. A document can still be recorded without a legal description, but it will not be abstracted in the tract indexes.

- A grantor and grantee need to be connected with the real property. The grantee's address must be listed on the deed.
- The Recorder may record any deed that contains a metes and bounds description which may be accompanied by a map prepared in compliance with law and delineating the land described in the deed. If a map delineating the land has already been recorded, the deed may make reference to the recorded map. The County Clerk shall charge $2 for recording these maps.

**A Property Owner's Certification form is needed to record any deed, record of survey, or contract for deed pertaining to land in the unincorporated areas of Park County. This form is regarding exemption from the Wyoming Real Estate Subdivision Act. The form is available on the Park County Clerk's website.

CERTIFICATE OF CONSIDERATION

No instrument (unless exempt) may be recorded by the County Clerk unless it is accompanied by a fully completed and sworn Statement of Consideration.

It is the responsibility of the buyer (or buyer's agent) to fully complete the statement. Three copies of a computer rendition should be submitted to the clerk.
If an exemption applies, the submission of the Statement of Consideration is not required by law. However, submitting a statement complete through Part C with a signature under part E, may avoid the necessity of the County Assessor contacting the buyer (or buyer's agent) to confirm applicability of an exemption. If a SOC is submitted for an exempt transaction, circle the appropriate exemption number on the form. A list of exemptions can be found by click on the Statement of Consideration link on the Park County Clerk's website.
