Montana Quitclaim Deed

About the Treasure County Clerk & Recorder

Treasure County is one of Montana's smallest and is centered entirely on Hysham, its seat and only incorporated town, along the Yellowstone River in south-central Montana. With under 750 residents countywide, this is about as small as recording offices get — a call ahead before the drive is a good idea.

Cities and Communities Served

Recording jurisdiction runs countywide, not by city limits — if the property sits anywhere within Treasure County, this is the Clerk & Recorder’s office that will accept the deed. That includes:

Incorporated towns: Hysham (county seat).

Unincorporated communities: Myers, Sanders, and Bighorn.

A small part of the Crow Indian Reservation extends into Treasure County, though none of the county's own communities are confirmed to sit on that trust land.

How to File a Document

  1. Prepare Your Document: Make sure your deed meets Montana's formatting and content requirements before you file.
  2. Get It Notarized: Have the document signed in front of a Montana notary public or other authorized official. No notary nearby in Hysham? Montana allows remote online notarization — you can notarize your Treasure County deed online instead.
  3. Complete a Realty Transfer Certificate: Montana law requires a completed Realty Transfer Certificate (Form RTC) to accompany every deed submitted for recording — even transfers that don't require disclosing the sale price still need the form filed.
  4. Record It: You can file in person at the Treasure County Clerk & Recorder's office; call the office to confirm whether mail-in filing is accepted.
  5. Pay the Recording Fee: A flat statewide rate for the first page, with a lower rate for each additional page.
  6. Keep Your Receipt: Your recorded document (or a certified copy) is your proof of filing.
