County Clerk and Recorder

Services of the Clerk-Recorder's Office

The County Clerk-Recorder is the guardian of real property, vital and business records for Colusa County property owners and citizens. California law governs which documents may be FILED with the County Clerk or RECORDED with the County Recorder.

Once accepted, documents are indexed for retrieval and preserved for access by the public. Copies are made available upon payment of a copy fee.

Real property records, which date back to 1850 when Colusa County was formed, can be found alphabetically by names of parties identified on the documents. The indexes to documents recorded prior to 1989 are found in our index books and microfilm while documents recorded from 1989 to present can be found on the Recorder's computerized index.

Obtaining Copies of Official Records (Real Property Records)

By U.S. MAIL: Send name of property owner, book and page or instrument number, and estimated date (if known). Include a self-addressed, stamped envelope. Mail to Colusa County Clerk-Recorder, 546 Jay Street, Suite 200, Colusa, CA 95932. Copy fees are $1.00 for the each page of a record. If you are not sure of the number of pages, write a check "not to exceed $____." Estimate the number of pages by figuring about 4 pages per document and we will fill in the exact dollar amount for you. A receipt will be returned to you with your document.
