Taylorsville Property Records
Taylorsville property records are held by the Salt Lake County Recorder, which serves as the official filing office for all deeds, liens, mortgages, and other title instruments recorded for Taylorsville addresses. The city of Taylorsville, incorporated in 1996, has its own departments for building permits, planning, and zoning, but deed records are a county function. This page explains how to search Salt Lake County's online systems for Taylorsville property records, what the assessor and treasurer provide, and what city-level resources exist for permits and land use. Taylorsville has around 64,000 residents and sits in the central part of Salt Lake County.
Taylorsville Quick Facts
Salt Lake County Recorder Holds Taylorsville Property Records
Taylorsville is within Salt Lake County, so the Salt Lake County Recorder is the custodian of all recorded property instruments for Taylorsville parcels. This covers warranty deeds, trust deeds, quit claim deeds, mechanic's liens, easements, lis pendens filings, and any other document that affects title to a Taylorsville property. Taylorsville city government does not hold deed records and cannot issue copies of them.

Utah recording law under § 57-3-101 provides that a document recorded at the county recorder's office is constructive notice to all persons. For Taylorsville property owners, this is what makes a recorded deed or lien publicly effective. Utah's race-notice rule under § 57-3-102 means that recording promptly after closing is essential. An unrecorded deed can be defeated by a later buyer who had no actual notice and recorded their deed first.
Searching Taylorsville Property Records Online
The Salt Lake County Recorder's public portal is the main online tool for Taylorsville property record searches. You can search by grantor or grantee name, parcel number, or legal description. The portal provides document images for most records filed from 1990 onward. Pre-1990 instruments are on file at the recorder's office and require an in-person visit to access.
For users who need to run multiple searches, the Salt Lake County Data Services portal at slco.org/data-services offers subscription access. A 24-hour login is available for $5. This is useful for real estate professionals, title researchers, or anyone doing extended due diligence on Taylorsville properties. The free public search portal at apps.saltlakecounty.gov handles basic parcel and document lookups without any login or fee.
The Salt Lake County Assessor at slco.org/assessor is a second key source. The assessor holds current ownership records, assessed values, parcel boundaries, and exemption status. For confirming who owns a Taylorsville address right now or seeing the current assessed value, the assessor's portal is often faster than the recorder. Phone is (385) 468-8000, at 2001 South State Street, Suite N2-600.
The statewide property values portal at propertyvalues.utah.gov lets you look up assessed values across Utah counties, including Taylorsville parcels, without navigating county sites directly. The Utah GIS portal at gis.utah.gov has parcel map layers useful for location and boundary research.

Taylorsville City Resources for Permits and Planning
Taylorsville city government maintains separate records for building permits, zoning decisions, and planning approvals. These are not the same as deed records and will not appear in a search of the Salt Lake County Recorder's database. A property may have a clean deed history at the county level and still have open permits, code violations, or zoning restrictions at the city level. Both sources are needed for full research.
Taylorsville's Building Department handles permit applications, inspections, and code enforcement for properties within city limits. If you want to see whether any permits were pulled for work on a Taylorsville property, or whether any open violations exist, the building department is the right contact. Their page is at taylorsvilleut.gov/departments/building-department. Unpermitted additions or renovations can affect a property's value and insurance coverage, so a permit check is a useful step for buyers.
The Taylorsville Planning and Zoning Department manages land use decisions, zoning maps, subdivision approvals, and conditional use permits. Zoning determines what you can build on a lot and how it can be used. Check the current zoning for any Taylorsville parcel before making plans that depend on what uses are allowed. Their page is at taylorsvilleut.gov/departments/planning-zoning.
Taylorsville also has its own City Recorder at taylorsvilleut.gov/city-recorder. The City Recorder manages municipal documents, meeting minutes, and city ordinances. This office does not hold property deed records. The city's main website at taylorsvilleut.gov is the starting point for all city-level property and permit inquiries.
Property Watch for Taylorsville Homeowners
The Salt Lake County Property Watch program gives Taylorsville homeowners a free way to monitor their parcel for new recorded documents. Enroll at slco.org/data-services/PropertyWatch by entering your parcel number and email address. You will receive an alert each time a document is recorded against your property. There is no cost and no requirement to log in repeatedly.
Property Watch is a useful fraud prevention tool. Unauthorized deed transfers and forged liens do happen, and an email alert gives you a head start on addressing any unexpected recording. Enrollment takes only a few minutes through the link above.
Salt Lake County Assessor and Tax Records
The Salt Lake County Assessor provides parcel-level ownership and value data for every Taylorsville property. The assessor's office is at 2001 South State Street, Suite N2-600, Salt Lake City, UT 84114-7421. Phone is (385) 468-8000 and the website is slco.org/assessor. Assessor records are updated annually and include ownership history, lot size, assessed value, and exemption information.
Property tax records for Taylorsville are managed by the Salt Lake County Treasurer at 2001 South State Street, Suite N1-200, Salt Lake City, UT 84190. Phone is (385) 468-8300. Tax payment history, delinquency status, and any tax lien information is public. A delinquent tax lien on a Taylorsville property is a legal claim against the parcel and affects title. Always verify tax status before closing on a property.
If you believe the assessed value on a Taylorsville property is too high, you can file an appeal with the Salt Lake County Board of Equalization at (385) 468-7500. A successful appeal reduces the assessed value and lowers the resulting tax bill.
Historical Property Records for Taylorsville
Taylorsville was incorporated as a city in 1996, but the land it covers was part of Salt Lake County long before that. Property records for the Taylorsville area go back through the county recorder's historical files to the pioneer era. The full title history of most Taylorsville parcels is on file at the Salt Lake County Recorder. Records from 1990 forward are searchable online. Older instruments require an in-person visit.
The Utah Division of Archives at archives.utah.gov holds historical state records that can supplement county files for older Taylorsville parcels. For properties with federal land grant origins, Bureau of Land Management records provide original patent data. Utah's GIS portal at gis.utah.gov includes parcel map layers with historical overlays that help with boundary and chain-of-title research.
Public Access to Taylorsville Property Records
Utah property records are public under GRAMA, Utah Code § 63G-2. Anyone can access deed records, assessor data, and tax information for Taylorsville parcels without providing a reason. Salt Lake County may charge for copies but must provide access to public records. If access is denied, GRAMA provides an appeal path through the State Records Committee.
Utah's recording system is designed to be open. Every deed filed for a Taylorsville parcel is a permanent public record accessible by anyone who wants to search it. That openness is what makes the system work. Buyers can check the full history of a property before purchase. Lenders can confirm that no undisclosed liens exist. And homeowners can see exactly what is on file against their parcel at any time.
The same rules that make records public also require that certain personal information be protected. The recorder redacts some data from public-facing documents as required by state law. If you run a search and see a redacted field, that is standard practice, not an indicator that the record is incomplete.
