Cass County - Recorder
The Office of the Iowa
County Recorder was created by the First Legislative Assembly of the Territory
of Iowa in 1839. Since the creation of the County Recorder's office, numerous
additional responsibilities have been added over the years.
The County Recorder is responsible for land and records management, maintaining
and recording a wide variety of official documents affecting real estate and
numerous other valuable miscellaneous documents. The office collects real estate
transfer tax for the Iowa Department of Revenue and collects and reports the
County Auditor's fee on transfer of property.
The Recorder's office serves as a licensing agent for the Iowa Department of
Natural Resources by issuing fishing and hunting licenses, and registering and
titling boats, snowmobiles, and ORV's.
As of July, 1997 the Recorder's office is the County Registrar of Vital Records
and has the responsibility of issuing Marriage Licenses, registering Birth,
Death and Marriage Certificates and issuing certified copies of Vital Records.
The Cass County Recorder's office is a Passport Acceptance Agent assisting U.S.
citizens with obtaining a U.S. Passport.
The Recorder's duties are defined by state statutes and established by state
agencies through administrative actions. The County Recorder works with the Iowa
Department of Natural Resources, Iowa Department of Revenue, Iowa Department of
Public Health and the U.S. Department of State Federal Passport Agency. Detailed
reports are filed monthly and annually to the county and to the state agencies.
