Ouray County Online Records Search :
Ouray County and Aptitude Solutions’ OnCore Recording System allows the public to view all recorded documents 1876 to the present by Reception number and/or Book/Page number. There is no charge to view images. To print images, you must subscribe to the monthly Internet service for a minimal fee.
To search for various documents, you must obtain a book and page or a reception number by searching the Grantor/Grantee indexes first. These indexes are computerized beginning 1995 and are easily searchable in the "search" program on OnCore by last name or some records are searchable by legal description, recording date, reception number, or document type. Our older grantor/grantee indexes can be searched through the OnCore "alpha index" program beginning 1876 to June 1995.The older indexes are searched alphabetically by first letter of the last name.
To search for a subdivision plat, you must locate the reception number on the Subdivision list: Alphabetical listing for Plat maps . Go to the "search" program on OnCore and enter the reception number.
