Tips for Searching

  • Whether searching online or in the Records Room, only enter one search criteria:
    • Land Description
    • Party Name (last name, first name)
    • Book & Page/ Recording Number
    • Date
    • Document Title
  • In the Records Room, searches are free, but if you wish to print any documents, it is $1.00 per page or $.10 per image. Cash, check and credit card are accepted (fee charged for credit card transactions).
  • Records obtained via the Records Room cannot be downloaded, only printed.
  • *Please note: The Williams County Recorder's Office cannot determine mineral ownership/mineral rights; you will need to hire someone like a landman to do that for you.

Search in the Records Room

The public may search for paper and digital land records by coming to the Records Room located inside of the Williams County Recorder's Office. The Records Room is open Monday - Friday, 8 am to 5 pm, and closed on holidays observed by Williams County.
