Boone County Land Records, Deeds, Recording Documents, and eCCLIX Search

The Boone County Clerk maintains land records and recorded documents such as deeds, mortgages, releases, liens, plats, and other instruments recorded in the county clerk’s office. Many users access these records through the eCCLIX / CCLIX records system.

Boone County has a local detail that matters: the Clerk states that the county has used a “group identification” system since 1969, and the group number is an additional mandatory element for land or land-related documents where required.

Boone County Clerk vs Boone County Circuit Court Clerk

This is the most common confusion in Boone County. The Boone County Clerk handles land records, marriage licenses, motor vehicle registration, title work, elections, notary services, delinquent property tax collection, and County Clerk records.

The Boone County Circuit Court Clerk handles court case records for Circuit, Family, District, and Business Court matters at the Boone County Justice Center. That includes many divorce, criminal, civil, probate, traffic court, family court, and court-copy questions.

Use the Boone County Clerk for

  • Land records, deeds, mortgages, liens, and recorded instruments.
  • Marriage licenses and certified marriage-license copies.
  • Motor vehicle registration, renewals, title transfers, boats, and trailers.
  • Voter registration, election information, candidate filings, and results.
  • Notary commissions and delinquent property tax collections.

Use the Circuit Court Clerk for

  • Divorce case records, court orders, and family court records.
  • Criminal, traffic, civil, probate, and district court case files.
  • Jury duty, court dates, court fines, and court-copy requests.
  • Certified copies of court case documents.
  • Older court files stored at a court office or record facility.
