Welcome to the Recorder of Deeds Office
where we take pleasure in serving you.
Our motto is: "You are not an
interruption to our business you are our
business." The Office of the
Recorder of Deeds, which has two
Districts (St. Croix and St. Thomas-St.
John) operates under the supervision of
the Lieutenant Governor, who exercises
jurisdiction over the filing and
recording of deeds and other instruments
relative to real property.
The Recorder of Deeds office is
responsible for recording all property
deeds, mortgages, personal liens, tax
liens, and other miscellaneous documents
against individuals and property owners.
The Recorder of Deeds performs the duty
of
recording documents as outlined in Title
33, Section 2362 of the Virgin Islands
Code. This section of the law
provides for the transfer of real
property or interest therein, mortgages
and other securities for debt secured by
real property.
