Phelps County

Register of Deeds

The Register of Deeds has the power to take acknowledgments, administer oaths, and certify the same by his or her signature. The Register of Deeds keeps a numerical and alphabetical record in which every instrument (deeds, mortgages, plats, surveys, etc.) filed for record in their office is entered. The Register of Deeds may appoint a deputy for whose acts the Register of Deeds will be responsible. The deputy may not be the county treasurer, sheriff, clerk or surveyor. In Phelps County a separate register of deeds is not elected pursuant to section 32-518, therefore the county clerk acts as ex officio Register of Deeds.

Costs to record an instrument are $5.00 per page and $.50 per lot or section number in the legal description of the document. Instruments not having at least a 3 x 3 inch space for recording information on the face of the document will require and additional $5.00 as another page will be used

As of July 16, 2004, UCC filings will be $10.00 plus $.50 per page for attachments. There will be no charge for terminations.
