Teton County Recorder

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

- A document must be an original in order to be recorded.

- All documents must be acknowledged (notarized) in accordance with Wyoming law.

- Documents must be clearly readable and reproducible.

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

- At the top of the first page, provide a blank 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 which need to be abstracted need to have a valid Teton County legal description. A document can still be recorded without a legal description, but it will not be abstracted in the tract indexes.

- Deeds need to have a grantor and grantee 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.

STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATION

Unless an instrument is exempt, it cannot be recorded without a completed and sworn Statement of Consideration. It is the responsibility of the buyer (or the buyer's agent) to fully complete the statement. The form must be printed or typed.
If more room on the form is necessary for the legal description, a copy of the deed or the legal description can be attached.

If an exemption applies, the submission of the statement is not mandatory. However, a statement completed through Part C, with a signature under Part E, may avoid the necessity of a County Assessor contacting the buyer (or the buyer's agent) to confirm applicability of the exemption. If a statement is provided for an exempt transaction, choose "Yes" under Part C and circle the appropriate exemption number. If no exemption applies, the entire form must be completed.

The Statement of Consideration is not currently on the Teton County Clerk's webpage; however, this form can be found by googling "Wyoming Statement of Consideration."
