Register of Deeds
"Our Greatest asset is our
service to you"
Welcome to the Sumner County Register of Deeds website. Sumner County is the eighth largest county in Tennessee. Our area of Middle Tennessee is rich in history. Our population exceeds 160,000. The Register of Deeds Office has 7 employees and the register. We are in an elected office with a four-year term. In a typical fiscal year we record in excess of 40,000 legal documents. The register's office collects state conveyance tax and state mortgage tax along with recording fees. The state taxes are remitted to the TN Dept of Revenue monthly. The recording fees and commissions are also remitted to Sumner County on a monthly basis. The Sumner County Register's Office is equipped with state-of-the-art technology. The documents are digitized during the recording process. Once the document is saved on our database it can be viewed via the internet. The staff is currently working to digitize all Deed Books athat date back to 1786. This project is almost complete. Each member of the register's team must be well equipped to record over eighty different types of legal documents according to TN recording law. The recording process is very detailed and a high level of accuracy must be achieved. Our records are certified back to September 1989. Our records can be searched at www.ustitlesearch.com It is our goal to serve the needs of the public. Feel free to contact us if we can be of assistance to you.
