The Register of Deeds Office creates a public record for all land situated in Oakland County.  This includes deeds, mortgages, foreclosure records and personal property filings known as Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) transactions.  By using the Landaccess.com service below you can obtain copies of any recorded document(s) back to January 1, 1964 with the exception of subdivision plat maps.

Documents that are left with our office to be recorded are filmed by the most modern microfilm method insuring safety and replacement at any time.  Documents are indexed by names and tract number and returned to the filer promptly by U.S. Mail unless otherwise noted.

Title-Mortgage Fraud Information: Letter from Clerk/Register Bill Bullard on the ongoing investigation into alleged fraudulent mortgage documents and the impact on foreclosures.
