New Mexico Quitclaim Deed

New Mexico's 33 County Clerk Offices

Every New Mexico county records deeds, mortgages, liens, and other documents affecting real property through its own elected County Clerk. A quitclaim deed goes to the clerk in the county where the property sits -- recording in New Mexico happens at the county level, so that office is always the right destination. Find yours in the list below.

Recording is what puts the transfer on the public record and gives everyone else constructive notice of it, and that notice is the real protection: it stands between the new owner and anyone who later claims an interest in the same property. New Mexico clerks can also refuse a document that doesn't meet the applicable requirements, so it's worth checking the formatting, notarization, and legal-description rules in our recording requirements guide before you make the trip.
