| Register of Deeds is responsible for recording, indexing and maintaining the records of all deeds, mortgages, liens, and other legal documents affecting real estate in Bay County along with many other miscellaneous legal documents. The Register's office provides customer service to the residents of Bay County as well as many businesses (credit bureaus, lending institutions, attorneys, title companies, insurance companies, realtors, etc.)in the county and surrounding areas. The records in the Register of Deeds office are used extensively by many of these businesses to assist in making financial decisions. Some of the services, in addition to the daily customer service provided by the Register of Deeds office are typed lien searches, typed UCC searches, record copying and mortgage reporting.
There are no time constraints on research hours. The records are available from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Our records may be searched via the link shown below. The records you will have access to will be a general name index only. Records are from 1985 to current. To access the site you must accept the terms and conditions of use. Once accepting, use the Guest Login. This will allow you to search by name. In the Step 3 Box type last name, comma, space, and the first couple letters of the first name. i.e. Doe, Jo (instead of typing in the entire first name of John).
