What is the Osage County Register of Deeds Office?
The Osage County Register of Deeds is an elected official who is required the Laws of the State of Kansas to record all documents submitted by the public which are qualified to be recorded; maintain an up-to-date and accurate set of indexes which show the correct ownership of land in the entire county and perform all functions of a clerical and technical nature to accomplish that objective. It is a place where all transactions having to do with land including liens and mortgages are recorded and maintained so that the public is made aware of their existence. This is also a place where financing statements and security agreements are filed on personal property under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC). In addition to records on real estate and personal property; the Osage County Register of Deeds Office maintains records of military discharges, old school records, and information on county cemeteries.
