Record a deed or other legal document that conveys property. It is recommended to seek assistance from a title company or attorney.

Record the Death Certificate in Bonner County. If it is a deceased spouse and you did not establish rights of survivorship, contact our office for an affidavit of non-probate. It is recommended to seek assistance from a title company or attorney.

Your legal description will be on your deed. Your deed can be found through the Bonner County Public Map or the Recording Office Recorded Document Search.

This can be found in the following ways:

• Reference your deed
• Search the Recording Office Recorded Document Search for plats
• Contact the GIS department or the Recording Office

We can provide some basic information, but Bonner County staff are prohibited from determining the legal correctness or contents of your deed. To ensure you are protected, we suggest consulting a title company or real estate attorney before recording your document.

For simple corrections, strikethrough errors on the original deed, add the changes in ink and re-record the document. If needed, legal descriptions and notary sections can be attached and referenced with language like “See attached exhibit A”.  It is recommended to seek assistance from a title company or attorney.

We can help you find your legal description, but property line disputes are a private/civil matter that the County cannot arbitrate. If you have a dispute with a neighbor, seek legal advice and/or order a survey from a licensed surveyor.

The Bonner County Public Map should not be relied upon for determining property corners or measurements.  Use the Recording Office Recorded Document Search to find a survey or plat associated with your property. If no such record exists we recommend hiring a surveyor.

We are working towards better accuracy and in the coming years, the parcel lines will be improved. The GIS map does not represent survey-accurate parcel data at this time. Therefore the map cannot be used to determine property corners, placement of boundaries, or any other precise measurement.

Contact the Planning Department to check for compliance and procedures for splitting property.

Check the Bonner County Public Map. If it is not found on the map, it is likely that the document creating a new parcel number has not been processed yet. It can take several weeks for GIS to process these documents and assign new parcel numbers. Call our office with any questions.

Order a survey or bring an existing survey to our attention.

Easement information can be found on historical deeds and/or plats that pertain to the property in question. You can order a Title Report through a Title Insurance Company, or request Field Sheets (deed history) for a parcel from the Assessor’s Office.  For utility easements, contact the utility company.

Easements are a private/civil matter. Seek Legal Advice
