Coffey County Register of Deeds

The Register of Deeds Office is where all transactions having to do with land, including liens and mortgages, are recorded and maintained so that the public is made aware of their existence. This is also a place where financing statements and security agreements are filed on personal property under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC).

Military records are filed if brought to the office for safe keeping, at no charge, according to statute, and school census records from the former County Superintendent's office are kept and maintained in the office.

The Register of Deeds office is a recording agency and therefore cannot make out legal documents or answer those questions which pertain to legal matters.
