Welcome to the Watauga County Register of Deeds website. We provide the information on this site for your use and convenience. The Register of Deeds office is the primary custodian of permanent records for the county. We record deeds, deeds of trust, cancellations, powers of attorney, plats and other miscellaneous documents related to real property. The Vital Records division maintains Watauga County birth records, death records, marriage licenses and military discharges.

We strive to provide the best possible service to our customers and to protect and maintain the integrity of the records while providing open access to these public records.

If there is ever anything my staff or I can assist you with please feel free to call on us at anytime.
