1. How do I obtain a copy of my deed?

You may request a copy either in person or by mail or fax with payment upfront. Please find more information on our Deeds page.

2. Will the Recorder/Registrar’s Office help me fill out my forms?

No. Please consult a legal advisor for assistance on types of forms, how to complete forms or for legal advice. The Recorder’s Office personnel cannot provide assistance in these areas as it is against the law to give legal advice unless you are a licensed attorney.

3. Do you have blank real estate forms?

Minnesota Uniform Conveyance Blank forms are available from area attorney's offices or abstract/title companies or from the MN Department of Commerce website. The Recorder's Office does not create any documents for liability reasons (Also see Q2 above).

Note: If you are considering conveying only a portion of what you own (this is what we call a "split" of the property), please contact the Itasca County Auditor's Office at 218-327-2860 and Itasca County Environmental Services at 218-327-2857 prior to any "splitting" of parcels to see what requirements there are pursuant to current County Ordinances.
