Sheridan County Recorder

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

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.

- All documents must be acknowledged (notarized) in accordance with Wyoming law in order to be considered for recording.

- Documents must be originals. A copy cannot be recorded. The entire document must be clearly readable and reproducible.

- Corresponding names must be printed or typed underneath all signatures. This does not apply to notaries and witnesses.

- At the top of the first page, provide a blank 2-inch margin. This area is reserved for recording purposes. All other margins should be at least 1 inch.

- The document title, which is given after the 2-inch top margin, should indicate the type of document that is being recorded.

- If a document needs to be abstracted, it must have a valid legal description. If a legal description is not included, the document can still be recorded but will not be abstracted in the tract indexes.

- 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.

STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATION

An instrument may not be recorded by the county clerk unless it is accompanied by a fully completed and sworn Statement of Consideration, unless the instrument is exempt. It is the responsibility of the buyer (or the buyer's agent) to fully complete the Statement of Consideration, which should be completed in printing or typing. The form can be obtained via the Sheridan County Clerk's webpage.

If an exemption applies, submission of a Statement of Consideration is not required by law. However, submitting a statement that is completed 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 statement if provided for an exempt transaction, circle the appropriate number to indicate which exemption applies.
