The Stark County Recorder’s Office, led by Recorder Jamie Walters, is the official custodian of real estate documents for the county. His office is responsible for maintaining a complete, accurate, and permanent record of deeds, mortgages, and easements for all land within Stark County. However, you can also find appraisal records, maintained by the County Auditor, which reflect assessed property values used for tax purposes, online.

For online searches, you can search for deeds using the county’s Online Search Records website, which allows lookups by name, parcel number, or document type. Because deed records can be complex and subject to historical variations in formatting or indexing, it’s recommended that you verify any findings directly with the Recorder’s Office to ensure accuracy, especially before a real estate closing or legal filing.

Costs for obtaining copies of deed records, appraisal data, or transfer documents vary depending on the type of document and how it’s requested—whether online, by mail, or in person, through the online search records site.

The Real Estate Search platform allows users to look up property and ownership records at a quick glance using address or parcel numbers, while the Auditor’s Parcel Viewer—built on ArcGIS mapping technology—lets you search by parcel number, address, or street intersection to view boundaries and parcel-level data.
