Montana Quitclaim Deed

About the Wibaux County Clerk & Recorder

Wibaux County, right on the North Dakota border in eastern Montana, is centered entirely on the town of Wibaux, its seat and only incorporated town. With under 900 residents countywide, this is one of Montana's smallest offices — a quick call ahead before you make the drive is generally a good idea.

Cities and Communities Served

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

Incorporated towns: Wibaux (county seat).

Unincorporated communities: Carlyle, St. Phillip, and Yates.

Sourcing for Wibaux County is thinner than most — no official county government website could be found, so treat this as a general guide rather than an exhaustive list.

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 Wibaux? Montana allows remote online notarization — you can notarize your Wibaux 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 Wibaux 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.
