Salt Lake County Recorder - Main Source for Midvale Records

All property title documents for Midvale are recorded with the Salt Lake County Recorder. Every time a Midvale property is sold, the deed goes here.

Salt Lake County Assessor - Midvale Property Valuations

Assessor records are entirely public. No fee and no account required for a basic parcel search. If you think the assessed value of your Midvale property is too high, you can file an appeal with the Salt Lake County Board of Equalization during the annual appeal period, which typically runs in the summer after notices go out.

Midvale City Offices - Local Records

Midvale City at midvale.utah.gov has several departments that produce property-related records. These are distinct from county recorder records and cover local permits, zoning, and city-level filings.

Midvale Building Inspection handles permits for construction, remodeling, additions, electrical work, plumbing, and mechanical systems within the city. Permit records are public. If you want to know whether a Midvale home has had permitted work done, the building department is where to ask. Knowing about unpermitted additions or improvements matters because they can affect financing, insurance, and resale value.

Midvale Planning and Zoning oversees land use approvals, zone changes, conditional use permits, and subdivision plats. If you need to know what a Midvale parcel is zoned for, or if you want to use a property for something other than its current use, this department handles those questions. Zoning maps may be accessible through the city's website or GIS tools.

The Midvale City Recorder maintains official municipal records: ordinances, council minutes, resolutions, and official city correspondence. This office does not hold property deed records. Those are at the county level. Contact the city recorder for city government documents, not for deeds or title history.

State Tools for Midvale Property Research

The Utah State Tax Commission operates a statewide property values portal at propertyvalues.utah.gov. This aggregates assessed values from all 29 Utah counties, including Salt Lake County.

The map viewer is open to anyone; downloadable data is also available for researchers who need it in GIS format.

The Utah State Archives at archives.utah.gov holds older state and local government records. For very old Midvale property documents that don't appear in the county recorder's digital or microfilm records, the archives may be a resource. This level of research is less common but relevant for title work involving parcels with long, complex histories.
