The county recorder's statewide computer service links all 53 counties and the Secretary of State's office. The UCC/CNS statewide system provides a secure, expedient and accurate method to process, store and retrieve personal property liens for both debtors and secured parties. The Secretary of State's website can be accessed at www.state.nd.us\sec\

The Property & Records department handles passport applications, issues marriage licenses, holds wills for safe keeping, and can provide birth and death information for county residents.

tax equalization
The Property & Records department works with township and city assessors in the county to insure that a uniform assessment of all real property will prevail. Also, mobile home moving permits and tax statements are issued by this department.
