Official Public Records – Recorder’s Index
Documents are indexed with a document number, a document date, a document title, and the parties to the transaction referred to as grantors and grantees. The Recorder-County Clerk does not have the names of property ownership by address. To search for property ownership in San Bernardino County by assessor’s parcel number please visit the Assessor Property Information webpage.
Document Search 1925 to the present: Please note this is an index only and does not allow the customer to view the actual document images (GC6254.21). Viewing document contents may only be performed by visiting the Hall of Records Recorder-Clerk’s office in San Bernardino or High Desert Government Center in Hesperia.
