The office of County Recorder was the first
constitutional office in county government in the State
of Indiana.
The Recorder’s office records any written
instrument submitted to its office, provided it meets essential
requirements set by state statutes. We index all documents
submitted for recording into our computer system and most
of the documents indexed, pertain to real estate located
in Wayne County. Instruments commonly recorded are: Deeds,
Mortgages, Assignments, Releases, Powers of Attorney, Real
Estate Contracts, Annexations, Trustee Elections, Affidavits,
Final Decrees, Surveys, Subdivision Plats, Federal Tax Liens,
Mechanics Liens, Military Discharges, Articles of Incorporation,
Cemetery Deeds, Bonds, Plats, Condominiums, Firms Doing
Business Under Assumed Names, Delinquent Sewer Liens and
other miscellaneous instruments.
The Recorder is required by state law to preserve
all the records recorded in the office. We microfilm every
document, microfilm being the only archival media. Since
the year 2000, we also scan every document into the computer
system, making it easy for the public to access them.
The Recorder also files liens against personal
property attached to real estate, which are known as UCC
Fixtures and all other filings related to these fixtures.
The Recorder supplies copies of any instrument
on record when requested. The instruments recorded in our
office date back to 1811, before Indiana became a state
in 1816
