Recording Documents:
Documents are recorded and made "public record" in the Recording Division of the County Auditor's Office. All real estate documents are recorded with the Auditor, as well as other miscellaneous documents.

- Documents recorded from August 1, 1985 to February 23, 1997 are electronically indexed with the documents on microfilm
