The Register of Deeds is the official recording officer and keeper of the records for all legal documents and instruments pertaining to the transfer and encumbrance of all lands and properites within Alcona County.  This includes Mineral Interest as well as Surface Interest.

The Register of Deeds must maintain reception books and indexes for all recorded documents.  The indexing is done alphabetically and must appear under each name that appears on the papers, as either the first or second parites (Grantor/Grantee).  The reception books give notice to the public that the documents have been placed on record and are also part of the bookkeeping records that must be kept for the office.

We also maintain a tract index that permits locating recorded information by way of the legal description.
