In Rhode Island, real estate documents such as deeds and mortgages are recorded with which office?

Correct Answer

B) City or town clerk in the municipality where the property is located

Rhode Island records real estate documents — including deeds, mortgages, and liens — with the city or town clerk in the municipality where the property is located. Unlike most states, Rhode Island has no county-level government and therefore no county recorder's office. This makes the local city or town clerk the official custodian of land records.

Answer Options
A
Rhode Island Secretary of State
B
City or town clerk in the municipality where the property is located
C
Rhode Island Department of Business Regulation (DBR)
D
Rhode Island State Auditor General
