  1. Document Request Form
  • Who owns a piece of property?

It is helpful to have a legal description of the property you are inquiring about. We will provide you with the last deed of record. You may also subscribe to the NDRIN website. It is a subscription-based site where 50 counties in North Dakota upload their real estate records.

  • How do I transfer property?

In most cases, you will need to have a deed drawn up to transfer property. We advise you to contact a real estate attorney or a title company. We do not have forms available and cannot assist you with the legalities of such documents. North Dakota is a race to record state.

  • How do I obtain a copy of my deed?

You may request a copy of the deed either in person, by phone, by mail or email. Please have the legal description and/or owner of the property. Copy fees are $1 a page. A certified copy is $5 for the first page, $2 for each additional page. To email a document it is an additional $3 fee. Please submit a document request form. Please mail request and payment to: Traill County Recorder, PO Box 399 Hillsboro, ND 58045. Payment is required upfront. (You can also email the request and mail the payment. The request will be fulfilled after receipt of payment)
