Where Provo land records are kept
| Office | What it holds |

How recording works here
The Utah County Recorder keeps an abstract (tract index) for each parcel serial number: the documents recorded against the parcel are listed together, and a reconveyance or release is tied to the deed of trust it releases.
Home loans in the Recorder's abstracts are almost all deeds of trust (trust deeds), released by a reconveyance. A secured lender that fails to release the security interest within 90 days after the final payment is liable to the owner (Utah Code 57-1-38), so a deed of trust with no release of record is still of record.
Property taxes are due on November 30 each year; a tax paid after that date is delinquent (Utah Code 59-2-1331).
A judgment becomes a lien on a debtor's real property in the county when the judgment or an abstract of it is recorded with the county recorder, and it is entered in the recorder's judgment index under the debtor's name (Utah Code 78B-5-202).
What a HeritageDeed report searches in Provo
- Owner of record, situs address, vesting document, legal description and market and taxable values from the county's parcel records
- Every document in the Recorder's abstract for the parcel: deeds, deeds of trust with their recorded amounts, reconveyances, assignments and substitutions of trustee
- Each deed of trust's reconveyance
- Liens, lis pendens, notices of default and fixture filings recorded against the parcel
- Unpaid property tax by year from the County Treasurer's tax summary

What it does not cover
Judgments and liens recorded under a person's name with no legal description are entered in the Recorder's judgment index, not the parcel abstract, and are not searched.
Deeds of trust are attributed to the current owner from the date the owner acquired the parcel; earlier owners' loans with no release tied to them are listed separately as presumed paid at the sale.
Tax balances are shown without interest.
Records protected for at-risk government employees or law enforcement officers may not show an owner name online.
The report is a public-records search, not title insurance or an attorney's opinion of title.
What to check in Provo property records
A thorough review of a property's records covers the same ground in every county:
- The owner of record and how title was taken: the current deed, who the seller was, and whether the transfer was a sale, a family transfer, or a foreclosure or tax sale.
- Every mortgage or deed of trust recorded against the property and, for each one, whether a satisfaction or release was recorded. A loan with no release of record may still be open.
- Liens, judgments and lis pendens filed against the owner or the property, including tax liens and court filings.
- Property tax status, so that unpaid taxes do not pass to a new owner.
- Document numbers, book and page references and recording dates, so that a title company or attorney can pull the originals.
A HeritageDeed report checks all of this for Provo, UT automatically, usually in about a minute, and shows the source of every finding.
