Look Up Property Records in Menominee County, MI
This service isn't handled by the County Clerk. Here's where to go instead.
In Menominee County, recording is handled by the Register of Deeds, not the County Clerk.
🌐 Go to the Register of Deedsmenomineecountymi.gov ↗Deeds, mortgages and land records are the Register of Deeds' records, and MCL § 600.2567(1) is that office's fee schedule: “To certify a recorded document, $5.00”and “For copies of any records or papers, if required, $1.00 per page”. Recording a document costs $30.00 regardless of length. A grantor/grantee search is 50 cents per year with a $5.00 minimum.
In Menominee County the Register of Deeds is a separate office from the County Clerk. Michigan's constitution lets each county board combine or separate the two at pleasure (Const. 1963, Art. VII, § 4), and Menominee County keeps them apart. Land records are at the Menominee County Register of Deeds, not at the clerk's counter — the address and hours on this page are the clerk's. (County site lists the County Clerk and the Register of Deeds as separate departments with distinct pages.)
What to bring
- The property address, and better still the parcel number or the legal description. Land records are indexed by grantor and grantee name, not by street address, so a name and an approximate year is what actually finds a deed.
- The names of the buyer and seller if you know them, and roughly when the transfer happened. MCL 600.2567(1)(e) prices a grantor/grantee search at 50 cents per year searched with a $5.00 minimum, so a narrower date range costs less.
- Payment — $1.00 per page for a plain copy, $5.00 to have a recorded document certified.
Recording a new document is $30.00 regardless of length under MCL 600.2567(1)(a), which includes $5.00 into the county automation fund.
