§ 23178 County Boundary Property Records

• •If two counties share a border, and that border is officially set by law or a court, then important papers about land near that border can be recorded in both counties.
• •This means if you have a paper (like a deed) for land in one county, but it’s close to another county, you can file a copy of that paper in the other county too.
• •The copy of the paper will work the same way as the original, even if the land is described as being in the first county.

You own a piece of land right on the edge of County A and County B. You have a deed (a paper that proves you own the land) recorded in County A.

Because your land is near the border, you can take a copy of that deed and record it in County B too. This way, both counties have a record of your ownership, and it’s just as official as if the original deed was filed in County B.
