Traill County Recorder
The county recorder's office is one of the offices formally organized by the Constitutional Convention of 1889. County recorder officers are elected to four-year terms that begin Jan. 1.
The information filed and recorded in the recorder's office is used by the auditor, treasurer, commissioners and other county officials, along with the general public and business entities. The real estate record is the basis for the auditor's assessment rolls and the tax collection process of the treasurer.
