Where Bountiful Deed Records Are Held

Bountiful is located entirely within Davis County, so all property deed records for Bountiful parcels are filed with the Davis County Recorder. This is a requirement of Utah Code Title 57, which mandates that instruments affecting real property be recorded in the county where the land lies.

Davis County uses the REDI system for online public records access. The REDI portal is available at webportal.daviscountyutah.gov. Through this system, users can search recorded instruments by grantor name, grantee name, or parcel number. Document images are available through the portal for records in the digital index. An interactive map tool at webportal.daviscountyutah.gov/App/PropertySearch/esri/map also allows parcel-based searches on a visual map interface.

The recorder's office in Farmington is open to the public during regular business hours. In-person searches are welcome, and the staff can assist with document requests, certified copy orders, and questions about the recording process.

Using the REDI System for Bountiful Deed Records

The REDI system is Davis County's primary platform for public access to recorded property documents, including Bountiful deed records. A free account is required to access document images through the portal. Registration is straightforward and allows unlimited document viewing once logged in. The system covers a substantial range of document types and search methods.

After logging in, searches can be run by grantor name, grantee name, or parcel number. Results display the recording date, document type, instrument number, and party names. Clicking through to a document shows the full recorded image. Bountiful properties appear in the Davis County index and are searchable through the same system used for all Davis County parcels.

The REDI portal supports searches for all major document types: warranty deeds, quitclaim deeds, trust deeds, reconveyances, mechanic's liens, judgment liens, notices of default, easements, and plat maps. For a complete title search on a Bountiful parcel, reviewing each of these categories is recommended. A single property may have multiple recorded instruments that affect its ownership or encumbrance status.

Certified copies of recorded documents can be ordered through the recorder's office. Fees are set by Davis County policy. Contact the office at (801) 451-3222 for current fee information or to place a copy order by phone or mail.

Davis County Interactive Map for Bountiful Deed Records

Davis County also provides an interactive property map that serves as an alternative search tool for those who prefer to locate a parcel visually rather than by typing a name or number. The map is accessible at webportal.daviscountyutah.gov/App/PropertySearch/esri/map and is built on the ESRI mapping platform used by many Utah counties.

Users can navigate the map to Bountiful, click on a parcel, and see the parcel identification number, ownership information, and links to recorded documents. This is useful when you know the location of a property but do not have the address or parcel number at hand. Once you identify the parcel on the map, the system connects to the recorder's index for that parcel, showing what instruments are recorded against it.

The interactive map also displays parcel boundaries, which can be helpful for understanding the size and layout of a property in relation to its neighbors. For legal boundary determinations, the recorded plat map in the county recorder's system is the authoritative source.

Note: The interactive map is a public access tool and does not require a REDI account to view parcel boundaries and basic ownership data; document image access through the REDI portal does require an account.

Bountiful City Recorder vs. Davis County Recorder

The Bountiful City Recorder is located at 790 South 100 East, Bountiful, UT 84010. The office phone is (801) 298-6104. This office serves Bountiful's city government but has no role in property deed recording. City recorders in Utah are responsible for maintaining the official legislative and administrative records of the city: ordinances passed by the city council, resolutions, meeting minutes, and municipal contracts.

Property deed records fall entirely outside the City Recorder's scope. This division is written into Utah law. Utah Code 63G-2-102, the Government Records Access and Management Act, defines what records each government body must maintain. Property deed recording authority sits with the county recorder under Utah Code Title 57. Residents who contact Bountiful City Hall looking for deed records will be directed to Davis County.

The practical takeaway is simple. For anything related to city governance in Bountiful, the City Recorder is the right contact. For anything related to property ownership, title, liens, or recorded encumbrances, the Davis County Recorder in Farmington is the correct office.

Bountiful Deed Records and Utah Law

The recording of property instruments in Utah is governed by Title 57 of the Utah Code. This title covers the requirements for valid deeds, the process of recording, and the legal effect of recording on the rights of third parties. A deed that is properly executed and recorded gives the world constructive notice of the transfer. Anyone who later searches the public record is presumed to know what is recorded there, even if they never actually read the documents.

This legal framework is why deed records matter beyond the transaction itself. A buyer in Bountiful who does not search the full record of a parcel before closing might miss a recorded lien, easement, or prior deed that affects the property. The Davis County Recorder's index is the authoritative source for that information. Title companies and real estate attorneys routinely search the full recorder's index before any sale or refinance to ensure the title is clear.

Public access to deed records is also protected by GRAMA, Utah's Government Records Access and Management Act, which classifies recorded property documents as public records. Any person can request access to these records without stating a reason. The Utah State Archives holds supplemental historical records for early Utah land transfers, which may be relevant for Bountiful properties with roots in the 19th century settlement of Davis County.
