Look Up Property Records in Owyhee County, ID

Property records in Owyhee County are kept by the County Recorder — the same elected official and office as the County Clerk. What it costs to record does not vary by county. Idaho Code § 31-3205(1) is the recorder's own fee schedule, and § 31-3205(5) lets the recorder set a fee only for a service the section does not enumerate. The document you are recording decides the price:

• $10.00 — Any instrument, paper or notice not otherwise listed — first page (§ 31-3205(1)(a))
• $3.00 — Each additional page (§ 31-3205(1)(a))
• $15.00 — Deeds, grants and transfers of title to real property (30 pages or fewer) (§ 31-3205(1)(b)(i))
• $45.00 — Trust deeds or mortgages, including fixture filings, security agreements and assignments of leases and rents in the same instrument (§ 31-3205(1)(b)(ii))
• $15.00 — Reconveyances of trust deeds and releases of mortgages (§ 31-3205(1)(b)(iii))
• $10.00 — Substitution of a trustee (§ 31-3205(1)(b)(iv))
• $25.00 — Powers of attorney (§ 31-3205(1)(b)(v))
• $1.00 — Copies of any record or paper, per page (§ 31-3205(1)(d))
• $1.00 — Certificate under seal, when required (§ 31-3205(1)(e))
• $5.00 — Filing a survey, per page (§ 31-3205(1)(i))

A page may be no larger than 14 inches by 8½ inches; an oversized map or drawing is charged at two cents per square inch (§ 31-3205(6)). Documents are recorded, not filed— except plats, surveys, corner records and instruments under the Uniform Commercial Code (§ 31-3205(4)). The one negotiable fee is bulk duplication of more than 100 pages on a recurring basis, which is capped at the recorder's own cost and must be approved by the county commissioners (§ 31-3205(3)).
