Documents recorded by the
Auditor include, but are not limited to, deeds, real estate contracts,
liens and other written instruments which are required by law to be filed
in the county. The records become public upon filing and are indexed
accordingly. The exact time of filing is recorded with a time stamp so
that if several instruments are filed on the same day, it is easy to
determine priority of a document when referring back to it. Many requests
are handled by the Auditor for copies of various instruments. A small fee
is charged for search of records and copies of documents and, when
certified by the Auditor, these documents are admissible in courts of law.
