RECORDINGS
LAND RECORDINGS - The Office of the County Clerk is responsible
for the filing and recording of all documents affecting real property
ownership and transfer within Somerset County, including deeds,
mortgages, and their related documents, as well as tax liens. This
office houses a Records Room that is open to the public. All documents
are available for public inspection and retrieval. Although by law the
staff cannot conduct a title search, they will familiarize the public
with the computerized recording and indexing system. The

comprehensive recording reference manual that contains recording
requirements including statutory references, tax calculations,
recording fees, explanation of acknowledgments as well as a glossary
of terms.
