Washington County deeds have a Recorder page and an iCounty login

A Washington County land-record question follows a different trail than a tax-value question.

The Recorder of Deeds is the office for public records tied to real estate and property ownership, including deeds, mortgages, liens, plats, and other recorded land documents. The iCounty portal gives an online search path and subscription options for document access.

For a buyer, heir, owner, or researcher, that distinction keeps the errand from bouncing between offices. The recorder handles recorded documents. The assessor handles assessed value and mapping. The collector handles tax payment and receipt questions.

Start with the office that owns the record you need. A property can appear in all three systems, but each system answers a different question.
