Lucas County Recorder’s Office News

The Lucas Co. Recorder’s office has military records going back to the Civil War for those who filed a copy of their discharge papers with the county. All residents who are veterans should file a copy of their DD-214 discharge papers with the Recorder's Office so that when a veteran dies, the appropriate government response will be received by the surviving family (for example, an American flag is given to the family, among other things). Those who cannot find their DD-214 papers may obtain copies from National Military Personnel Records Center
(https://www.archives.gov/personnel-records-center). There is typically a 30-day response time. If a copy has been filed with the Lucas Co. Recorder's office, you may request a certified copy through your township Trustees at no cost.

In addition, the Lucas Co. Recorder’s office has all deeds, releases, and mortgages from 1985 to the present available online. If you need a copy of one of these documents, a fee is charged per page at the Recorder's office. However, if the request is funneled through your township Trustees, the copies will be provided at no cost.

Request forms for each of these types of documents - military discharge and deed request - are available here in ".pdf" format. Once you download and print the appropriate form, please fill it out completely and give it to your township Trustee.
