New Document Search - Try it now!

The Yellowstone County Clerk and Recorder is pleased to introduce our new public document search and subscription service.  Over the past 7 years, Yellowstone County has contracted with the State of Montana to administrate our current subscription service.  Due to recent upgrades to our software system we are now capable of administering our own public document search and subscription service.

The new document search site will allow Yellowstone County to better serve our current and future clients.  Users will have the ability to decide if they want to subscribe to the yearly unlimited document subscription or simply purchase single documents.  Yellowstone County also plans to digitize and make available archived documents to enhance our database.  Users currently have access to documents dated back to June 2, 1997.

Documents can be purchased by signing up for the yearly subscription service or individually.  The yearly subscription service costs $100.00 per year for unlimited searching capability. If you choose to purchase documents individually the cost is $2.00 for the first page of a document and $0.25 for each additional page.

It is important to note that Yellowstone County will honor all subscribers who utilize the current search service.  Each user will receive a user name and password in order to access the new site.  Your subscription expiration date will be transferred to the new site and you will not incur any cost when you migrate to the new site.  Yellowstone County has agreed to run concurrent with the current site until December 31, 2013.  Hopefully this will alleviate any issues and not interfere with your current business practices. 

More information will be forthcoming.  If you have any questions please contact Jeff Martin, Yellowstone County Clerk and Recorder, at (406) 256-2787.  You may also contact Jeff through email at jmartin@co.yellowstone.mt.gov.
