Monroe land records belong with the Recorder of Deeds

A deed question in Monroe County belongs at the courthouse in Paris, but not at the tax counter. The Recorder of Deeds is the office responsible for recording, maintaining, and preserving county land records. Its office is listed at 300 N. Main Street.

That division can save a lot of circling. The assessor works with assessed values, property records, and maps. The collector handles bills and receipts. The recorder is where recorded land documents live.

For a buyer, heir, lender, or landowner, the question to ask is what kind of record you need. A tax bill may show a name or parcel clue, but it is not the same as a recorded deed. If the issue is what document was recorded, whose name appears in the land records, or how to request a copy, the Monroe County Recorder is the right door.
