Welcome to RecordEASE Web, Hennepin County's Land Records Site
*** Office Closure/RecordEASE outage the afternoon of October 24th***
The Recorder-Registrar of Titles will close at noon on October 24th. This includes onsite research terminals, accepting and returning eRecording submissions, mail processing, and (except in very limited cases) counter service. Time-sensitive document meeting immediate statutory deadlines may be dropped off at the counter. If deemed recordable, they will be assigned a recording date/time matching when they were physically received by our office. The office will reopen for regular business the following Monday, October 27th.
During this closure the RecordEASE Pro and Public Search sites will not be available for searching and accessing land title records online by both external subscribers and county staff, nor the general public from the self-service research terminals at the Hennepin County Government Center.

Document Recording Options
eRecording is the preferred method of submission for commercial entities utilizing a connection provided by an authorized vendor, but there are other options based on customer needs and preferences. Call 612-348-5139 or email recordinginfo@hennepin.us if facing immediate statutory deadlines.
Documents submitted electronically are normally processed within 1-3 business days. Documents sent by mail face longer processing times (1-2 weeks upon receipt by county) but are assigned a recording date/time when they are received in a recordable form by our office.
If eRecording is not an option, we recommend sending materials for recording by mail to our office using a delivery service providing tracking capabilities (Fed EX or UPS).
Examiner of Titles Approval
For Torrens documents requiring Examiner of Title’s approval, we have developed a process by which documents submitted electronically can be routed to the examiners for approval and back to the Registrar of Titles for recording.
