Welcome to the Dickson County Register of Deeds website.
Dickson County is located in the western portion of Middle Tennessee. We are located fifty miles west of our state capitol.
The primary function of the Register’s office is to record and preserve instruments required by law to be recorded, including, but not limited to: deeds, powers of attorneys, mortgages, liens, contracts, leases, military discharges, judgments, greenbelt assessments, and subdivision plats.
My staff has scanned our documents for viewing back to 1970. We are presently indexing the older documents to provide easier access to all records. Internet search of our records is available at www.ustitlesearch.com. All recorded documents are a matter of public record excluding military discharges.
The Register’s office provides beneficial information to attorneys, realtors, surveyors, appraisers, lending institutions and the general public. Our office serves the public in an efficient and operational manner proving to be a viable asset to Dickson County.
The Register is elected to a four-year term. Jackie Farthing was elected to her first term as Register in August of 1998 after serving as Chief Deputy in the office for twelve years. She is currently serving her 3rd term as Register of Deeds.
She has integrated the office with advanced computer technology hoping to better serve the citizens of Dickson
