MORTGAGES & CONVEYANCES
The Recording
Department is responsible for the filing of mortgage and
conveyance documents pertaining to Webster parish. At the time
the document is presented to the recording clerk it is
immediately indexed, given a registry number and a book and
page. This information is then printed on a separate recording
page and permanently attached to the document . The index
information is immediately available to be viewed by the public.
A scanned image of the document will be available for viewing
within 2-3 business days of recording.
Unlike other states, original documents sent for recording are
not returned to the sender. You may obtain a certified copy of
your document at the time of filing.
We can assist you in finding a document but the Clerk’s Office
does not perform title searches. We will, however, be glad to
instruct you on how to search our records and answer any
questions you may have.
