MISSION OF THE RECORDER OF DEEDS' OFFICE Our mission at the Recorder's office is to accurately maintain public records according to the statutes of the State of Missouri and make them easily accessible for viewing by the public. We provide data on Real Estate transactions, Marriage Records, Military Service Records, Tax Liens, Miscellaneous Deeds, Surveys, Plats, and Fixture filings. (Uniform Commercial Codes are filed at the Missouri Secretary of State's office.) Our records, beginning in 1837 through August 2001, were hand-recorded in books. In September, 2001, we began imaging records; and in 2005, in an effort to accomplish our mission, a new state-of-the-art automated system with document scanning for preserving records was implemented. The scanning system updates and provides easy accessibility to link records. See Records Available for an inventory of record types and their available formats. We provide two public view stations, located in the Recorder's office, available to the public at no charge. (Any copies made will apply to statutory fees.) Since 1937, land documents had to be mailed or physically taken to the Recorder's office to be recorded by hand. In August 2011, the Livingston County Recorder's office began electronic recording. Now, electronically, by scanning your original paper document, it is transmitted to our office through a portal and payment made by ACH. The documents arrive at the Recorder's office in seconds. They are examined and fully recorded or rejected, and returned to the submitter within minutes. See E-Recording for information to electronically record documents. Future plans include extending back data and images to 1971 and making those records available online.

The State Archives Office has completed the inventory of records in the Recorder's office. This contains a lot of good information for record searchers. Livingston County Recorder Inventory (161KB PDF) Page 8 through 13 of the Final Report (35.3KB PDF) NOTE: In order to give the records a location for the inventory, each vault was divided into separate shelving/storage units, sections, and tiers and labeled in order from left to right around the vault beginning to the left of the doorway in each vault. The shelving units, identified by numbers, are separated first into sections with letters (such as A and B), then into tiers (rows or drawers) by numbers, starting from the bottom and increasing as they go up. In this way items can be added to the top without the need to change any of the shelf labels. The Final Report includes a floor plan for Vault A that will help clarify this procedure.
