Functions of the Register of Deeds Office
Statement of Purpose
The original and current purpose of the Register of Deeds office is to preserve and
maintain the land records of Finney County. These records belong to the people of Finney
County. We pledge to maintain them in good working order for all to use. Our goal is to
provide friendly, efficient and cost effective service.
Introduction
The Register of Deeds office files and records documents that pertain to real estate.
These documents include deeds, mortgages, easements, oil and gas leases, affidavits and
plats. Filing fees are set by state statute. Documents presented for filing are given a
filing time, book and page and then indexed according to names, and legal descriptions.
With all these indexing methods, documents are usually easy to find. Copies of any
documents are made for a small fee. This office also files liens on personal property -
also known as UCC (Uniform Commercial Code) filings. These would include federal and state
tax liens, liens for automobile repair and liens on irrigation equipment (fixtures).
