The Register of Deeds is the official recording office for all land records in Grand Traverse County. We are responsible for receiving, recording, scanning and delivering of the following: deeds, mortgages, satisfactions, UCC/Financing statements, assignments, tax liens, sheriff deeds, and many other types of documents that pertain to real property.
All records are available to the public, with the exception of Transfer Tax Affidavits; these are not public record. Our computer image index dates back to November 1984, and we are adding more records and images daily. We would eventually like to have all of the records back to 1853 indexed and imaged.
In addition, this office also collects the transfer taxes for Grand Traverse County and the State of Michigan. Transfer tax is determined by the amount of consideration on a deed. (See link in menu at left)
Our office is located in the Governmental Center, 400 Boardman Ave, Traverse City, MI 49684. Our hours are Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. We are open during the lunch hour.
