La Paz County Recorder’s Office
About the La Paz County Recorder's Office
The La Paz County Recorder’s Office is dedicated to the recording of real property records, voter registration, early ballot handling, and various other tasks that ensure the integrity of public records. Established when La Paz County was separated from Yuma County in 1983, the office plays a pivotal role in local governance and community service.
Services

- Voter Registration and Early Balloting: Managing voter registration, setting up early voting stations, and assisting homebound voters with their ballots.
- Public Access: Offering public access to records from 1986 to the present, with options for document copies upon request.
Fraud Prevention and Property Verification
The La Paz County Recorder’s Office has introduced a verification program aimed at safeguarding property owners against potential fraud involving real estate transactions. This initiative, announced by La Paz County Recorder Richard Garcia at a public meeting in Bouse, focuses on preventing unauthorized deeds or fraudulent property sales, which can be a significant issue in real estate, especially in a county known for its rural landscapes and dispersed population.
Key features include:
- Notification System: Property owners receive email notifications whenever a new document is recorded against their property, acting as an early warning system. A local from Parker shared how this alert system helped catch an attempt to fraudulently transfer their property.
- Registration: Owners can register their names or business names, getting alerts if there's a match in new recordings. This was particularly praised by local business owners in Quartzsite.
- Scope of Notifications: Notifications only for documents recorded post-subscription, ensuring current relevance.
- Purpose: Providing security against fraud, highlighted by a case in Ehrenberg where the system prevented a scam.
- Implementation: Community workshops in various towns have educated residents on how to join the program.
