Easy to access services provided by Regional Parks at this location. I recommend buying a Sonoma County Regional Parks pass, and go to Spring Lake for a walk.

Where can I secure my home's property dimensions (property lines)?

William Delaney | Mar 25, 2022
Jana Blunt | Mar 25, 2022

Depending on what's been recorded, you can obtain a copy of the map for your property at the Recorder's office. You might be able to view this information on a record of survey, subdivision, or parcel map. When you arrive, you'll need Counter 2 (copies and research). It will be your responsibility to identify the map you need, but there is staff present to assist in your search.

My wife and I hold title to our personal residence as joint tenants. She has just passed. As I understand it, that means i now have total ownership without it going to probate. Is that so. If so, how do i change title to reflect that?

art fichtenberg | Mar 25, 2022
Jana Blunt | Mar 25, 2022

So sorry for your loss. People change title in many ways. When it comes to recordings, folks will often present documents such as affidavits of death, deeds, and court orders. To know which kind of document should be prepared in your situation, you're best off consulting a title company or Sonoma County Bar Association's free lawyer referral service. The recorder will be your last stop, once a document is prepared.

I am getting married in Healdsburg do I have to get my marriage license in Sonoma County or can I get it in San Francisco

Kevin Moylan | Aug 22, 2020
Jana Blunt | Aug 22, 2020

Kevin, if you get married in Healdsburg, you can purchase your license in any county in California. After the ceremony, the license must be returned to the same County Clerk-Recorder where it was purchased. Certified copies will only be available at that same office. Keep that in mind when deciding.

Gabe Ramos | Aug 22, 2020

Hi Gabe, Because birth certificates are private records, the Clerk cannot provide you that information.. You can purchase a certified copy so you can see it yourself, though. Please note the Clerk only has records for people born in Sonoma County.

Brian Quirk | Aug 22, 2020

Actually, the Clerk's office receives the death certificate from Vital Statiatics within about a month of its creation. Vital Statiatics only possesses the current and previous year's vital records.
