How to Look Up Who Owns a Property in Utah County: Land Records, the Parcel Map and Recorded Deeds

Utah County's free Land Records site searches property by owner name, address or parcel serial number and shows ownership, values, tax history and recorded documents. How to use it, the parcel map, and where the Recorder's office is.

Utah County puts its property records online for free. On the county's Land Records site you can search by owner name, street address or parcel serial number and see who owns a parcel, what it's valued at, its tax history and the documents recorded against it, including deeds.

How-to details below are from Utah County's Land Records page, the Utah County Recorder's "Find Records" page and the county's property information page, read Nov. 7, 2026.

Step by step: find an owner

  1. Open Utah County Land Records (utahcounty.gov, Land Records).
  2. Choose a search:
    • Address Search if you know the street address
    • Name Search if you know the owner and want their parcels
    • Serial Number Search if you have the county's parcel ID
    • Development/Subdivision Search to browse a subdivision
  3. Open the property record. It shows the owner and the parcel serial number, which unlocks everything else.
  4. Follow the links from that serial number to values, tax history, recorded documents and the map.

The Recorder says document images can be "accessed online at no charge." If you need a copy, copies are sold at the Recorder's office, and there's a Document Image Request form on its site.
