Deed Recording

Deed recording is the official process of registering a property's ownership transfer with the local government or county clerk's office. When someone buys or transfers property, the new deed—document showing current ownership—is filed publicly. This creates a permanent, legal record that confirms who owns the property, helps prevent disputes, and ensures the transaction is recognized legally. Recording typically involves paying a fee and submitting the deed, after which it becomes part of the public record accessible for verification and future reference.
