Murray Property Records Search

Murray property records are held by the Salt Lake County Recorder, which processes and stores all deeds, liens, mortgages, and title documents for Murray addresses. With around 50,000 residents, Murray sits in the middle of the Salt Lake Valley, and its property records reflect a dense mix of single-family homes, commercial corridors along State Street, and multi-family housing near the TRAX light rail stations. This guide covers every office you may need, from the county recorder to the city building inspection department.

Salt Lake County Recorder - Primary Source

The Salt Lake County Recorder is the main office for Murray property records. Every deed, mortgage, deed of trust, lien, easement, and similar document affecting Murray real estate is recorded there. The recorder does not create these documents; it receives them from parties to a transaction, checks them for completeness, assigns recording data, and stores them permanently. Anyone can search these records at no cost.

Online records go back to 1990. If you need older documents, you have two choices: visit the recorder's office in person during business hours, or submit a written request. Staff can pull vault documents, though fees apply. Documents recorded since 1990 can be printed from home through the county's public search portal.

The recorder's office is at 2001 South State Street, Suite N1-600, Salt Lake City. Phone is (385) 468-8145. Hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The office closes on state holidays.

Copy fees at the recorder's office: $2 per standard page, $5 per vault page, and $5 for a certified copy. If you only need to verify ownership or read a document, the online search is free and you won't need to visit in person.

The Salt Lake County Recorder's website at slco.org/recorder has links to the public search portal, recording requirements, and fee schedules. The site also explains what types of documents can be recorded and how to submit by mail if you can't come in person.

The Salt Lake County Recorder website shows the recording portal and document search tools available for Murray property records.

The recorder site includes instructions for downloading recorded documents and requesting certified copies for Murray addresses.

Public Search Portal - Free Online Access

Salt Lake County runs a free public search tool at apps.saltlakecounty.gov. You can search by owner name, parcel number, or address. Results show recorded documents, assessor data, and tax information. This tool covers Murray and every other city in Salt Lake County.

For more in-depth data access, the county offers a Data Services subscription at slco.org/data-services. A 24-hour login costs $5. This gives you access to bulk parcel data, GIS layers, and historical records not in the standard public portal. Real estate professionals often use this for research on multiple properties at once.

The Salt Lake County public search portal lets you look up Murray parcels, ownership data, and recorded documents at no cost.

The portal is updated regularly and covers both current ownership and historical recording data for Murray addresses.

Salt Lake County Assessor - Property Values

The Salt Lake County Assessor sets the taxable value for every parcel in Murray. This office is separate from the recorder. The assessor does not record deeds; it tracks ownership based on recorded documents and assigns annual values. Murray property owners receive a notice of valuation each year. If you think your assessed value is too high, you can appeal to the Board of Equalization.

The assessor's office is also at 2001 South State Street, Suite N2-600, Salt Lake City. Phone is (385) 468-8000. The assessor's public site at slco.org/assessor has a property search tool that shows parcel maps, current assessed values, and owner of record. This is often the fastest way to confirm who owns a specific Murray address.

Assessor records are public. You don't need an account or a fee to run a basic search. The data includes lot size, building square footage, year built, and assessed value for land and improvements separately.

Salt Lake County Treasurer - Tax Records

Property tax bills for Murray are issued by the Salt Lake County Treasurer. The treasurer's office is at 2001 South State Street, Suite N1-200, reachable at (385) 468-8300. Tax records show whether a property is current on taxes or has delinquent amounts. Unpaid taxes can result in a tax lien, which gets recorded with the county recorder and affects title.

You can look up tax status through the public search portal or directly through the treasurer's page. If you're buying Murray property, checking tax status is a standard step in due diligence. Delinquent taxes stay with the land, not the owner, so a buyer may inherit unpaid balances if not caught before closing.

The county also offers a Property Watch service at slco.org/data-services/PropertyWatch. This free tool sends email alerts when a new document is recorded against a parcel you register. Murray homeowners use it to watch for unauthorized transfers or liens.

Murray City Offices - Local Records

Murray City government at murray.utah.gov maintains several departments that produce records relevant to property. These are different from the county recorder records; they deal with permits, zoning, and municipal filings rather than title documents.

The Murray City Recorder's office handles city council minutes, municipal ordinances, and official city documents. This office is not the same as the Salt Lake County Recorder. The city recorder does not store property deeds. Contact Murray City directly for city-level records, public meeting notices, and official correspondence.

Murray Building Inspection issues permits for new construction, additions, remodels, and other work that affects structures in the city. Permit records are public. If you want to know what work has been done on a Murray property, a permit history search through the building department can reveal additions, roof replacements, electrical upgrades, and similar improvements. Unpermitted work can affect value and create liability for future owners.

Murray Community Development and Planning handles zoning classifications, land use applications, and subdivision plats. Zoning determines what a parcel can be used for. If you want to know whether a Murray address is zoned residential, commercial, or mixed use, the planning department is the right contact. Zoning maps are often available online through the city's GIS portal.

State-Level Resources

Two state tools are useful for Murray property research. The Utah State Tax Commission runs a property values portal at propertyvalues.utah.gov. This site aggregates assessed values from all Utah counties into one search. You can look up a Murray parcel there without going directly to the Salt Lake County site.

The Utah GIS portal at gis.utah.gov offers statewide parcel data, aerial imagery, and mapping layers. This is a good resource if you need spatial data about Murray parcels, flood zones, or land boundaries. Data is available for download or through a browser map viewer.

The Utah State Archives at archives.utah.gov holds historical government records. For older Murray property records not available through Salt Lake County's online system, the archives may have relevant documents. This is less common for routine property research but useful for historical title work going back decades.

How to Get a Murray Property Record

Online is the fastest route. Go to the Salt Lake County public search at apps.saltlakecounty.gov. Enter the property address or parcel number. You'll see recorded documents listed by date. Click any document to view it. You can print for free from the portal.

If you need a certified copy, you have to order it from the recorder's office. You can do this in person at 2001 South State Street, Suite N1-600, or by mail. Include the document type, recording date if known, grantor and grantee names, and a check for the copy fee. Certified copies cost $5 plus $2 per page.

For pre-1990 records, you'll need to visit in person or call (385) 468-8145 to ask about your options. Vault documents take more time to retrieve and cost $5 per page to copy.

If you're researching permits or zoning, contact Murray City directly through murray.utah.gov rather than the county recorder.
