Most recorder records online

County Recorder Theresa Bosel has worked to increase remote accessibility to office records, and now almost all records are completely accessible online. Prior to these changes, only records dating back to 2013 were available online. Some social security numbers may have been missed by the redaction software in the process of making more records accessible, and the public is asked to let the office know when this occurs. Any record that cannot be found online can still be obtained by mail. Requests by mail must include the document type being requested, book and page number, a self-addressed stamped envelope and $2 per page. For further details about how to obtain these records and military discharge documents go to columbianacountyrecorder.org.
