The services we offer to the professional community and the general public include the recording of various legal documents such as Deeds, Deeds of Trust and Plats and the filing of financial statements and personal property records under the Uniform Commercial Code.  We also record and issue vital records, such as birth, death and marriage certificates as well as issuing marriage licenses and notary oaths.

We also offer e-recording services for land records (except plats) to those who have completed a Memorandum of Understanding Agreement (MOU) with our e-recording vendors.

Marriage Licenses

A marriage license may be obtained from any county in the state. A marriage license issued in the State of North Carolina is valid only for weddings taking place in North Carolina. The cost of a marriage license is $60 cash. We cannot process a marriage license request after 4 p.m.

This office has a marriage license worksheet (PDF) that we prefer you fill out and return a few days before you want to get your license. Anyone can pick up this worksheet for you, or we can email you a copy or one can be downloaded from the above link. There is also a marriage license kiosk available in the Register of Deeds Office for your convenience.

Delinquent Property Taxes

On January 05, 2009 the Anson County Board of Commissioners passed a resolution requiring that all delinquent real property taxes must be paid on the parcel being recorded in the Register of Deeds Office. The tax certification is on the real estate conveyance form (DOC) which must be completed, signed and accompany all deeds, except timber deeds, recorded in this office.  

NOTE:  Deeds that are being filed electronically must include the following statement on the first page:  This instrument prepared by:  ________________, a licensed North Carolina attorney.  Delinquent taxes, if any, to be paid by the closing attorney to the county tax collector upon disbursement of closing proceeds.
