O&E Report — Current Owner Search
The O&E Report, or Owner and Encumbrance Report, is the most widely used title product for Utah properties. It covers up to 30 years of title history sourced directly from the County Recorder in the specific Utah county where the property sits.
The report confirms who currently holds title, lists all open deeds of trust and lien filings, flags recorded judgments, and notes any easements or restrictions on record. Utah is a race-notice state — the first party to record a valid instrument without notice of prior unrecorded interests takes priority, meaning an unrecorded deed or deed of trust offers no protection against a subsequent buyer who records first. Most liens must be recorded with the county recorder to be enforceable against the property under Utah Code § 38-12-102, making confirmed lien status an essential part of every Utah acquisition. Clean, direct-to-source data at $35.
2 Owner Search
The 2 Owner Search covers Utah property ownership through the two most recent title holders. Utah’s fast-growing Wasatch Front markets — Salt Lake, Utah, Davis, and Weber counties — generate high transaction volumes where properties can change hands quickly, and prior-owner deeds of trust, mechanics liens, and judgment liens can remain on record if never formally released.
Utah mechanics liens have strict notice and filing requirements, but a properly filed lien from construction activity during a previous ownership period remains a valid recorded claim until it is formally released. The 2 Owner Search reviews recorded deeds, open and released deeds of trust, mechanics lien filings, and judgment recordings across both ownership periods before you commit to a deal.

Full Title Search
The Full Title Search examines Utah property records spanning 30 or more years, tracing the complete chain of title through every recorded transfer in the county recorder system. Utah’s complex land history includes significant federal land adjacency — much of the state is federal or state-managed land — and rural, agricultural, and recreational properties near BLM and national forest boundaries can carry recorded access easements, grazing rights, and water rights instruments that only a full-period search will surface.
A full search traces every ownership transfer, reviews all encumbrances across the complete search period, and confirms the legal description against recorded instruments. For estate settlements, resort and recreational property acquisitions, commercial transactions, and long-held Utah properties, a full search removes the risk of discovering a title defect after closing.

FAQs
Online Property Title Search in Utah
Utah property records are maintained by the County Recorder in each of the state’s 29 counties. The County Recorder is the official recording authority for deeds, deeds of trust, mortgages, liens, plats, and other instruments affecting real property. Most Utah counties offer online access to recorded documents, with Salt Lake, Utah, and Davis counties maintaining comprehensive digital systems.
Utah primarily uses deeds of trust as the security instrument for real estate financing. Non-judicial foreclosure through a trustee’s sale is the standard process in Utah, which moves more quickly than court-based foreclosure. A title search confirms all recorded deeds of trust, their current open or reconveyed status, and any notice of trustee sale filings tied to the property.
Utah follows the prior appropriation water rights doctrine, and water rights are separate from the land — they are state-administered through the Utah Division of Water Resources, not recorded at the county level. However, water shares, irrigation company interests, and recorded water right transfer documents may appear in the county recorder records as instruments tied to the property. Buyers of agricultural, rural, or recreational properties in Utah should verify water rights status through the Utah Division of Water Resources in addition to a standard title search.
Yes. Recorded deeds of trust, judgment liens, and mechanics liens in Utah can survive an ownership transfer if never formally released. Utah’s race-notice statute means any open recorded lien that predated a new deed and was not released before recording remains a live priority claim against the property. A title search identifies any open lien filings from prior ownership before they become a post-purchase obligation.
Yes. Cash transactions have no lender requiring a title review, leaving buyers fully exposed to any undiscovered liens or ownership defects. Utah’s race-notice recording statute makes confirmed lien status particularly important — any open recorded claim from prior ownership that was not released before your deed gives that claimant legal priority. Cash buyers who skip the title search take on full exposure to any recorded claims tied to the property.
Title Search Direct delivers reports within 3 to 5 business days for most Utah counties. Salt Lake, Utah, and Davis counties have strong digital systems that support efficient turnaround. Rural counties, properties near federal land boundaries, or parcels with complex water rights or grazing easement histories may require additional research time.
