Recorder’s Office
Welcome to the Office of the Shelby County Recorder.

It is the Recorder’s responsibility to assure that these records are accurate, current and easily accessible. Shelby County was established in 1818. The records in our office date back to this time. Prior to 1818 the land that is now Shelby County was part of Miami County.
