What's New


The Recorder of Deeds, an administration of the Office of Tax and Revenue, is the official repository of all land records and general public instruments for the District of Columbia. The office is responsible for the collection of all recordation and transfer tax and filing fees on instruments being recorded and maintains these records for public inspection.

Land records are public documents and individuals who need information must do their own research. For assistance with extensive land records research, please consider hiring a local title company or an attorney familiar with Land Records.
