On Wednesday, October 11th, West Jordan’s City Recorder, Tangee Sloan, will be recognized by the City Council, for her recent and well-deserved achievement. Last month, Sloan was awarded “City Recorder of the Year” a prestigious honor presented annually to an exceptional city recorder within the state of Utah.

Expressing her gratitude, Sloan shared her surprise, acknowledging the many deserving city recorders throughout the state. She attributed her success to a relentless dedication to her role and commitment to enhancing customer service, particularly in handling passports. “I’ve poured my heart and soul into the City Recorder’s office and the services we offer. I’m incredibly grateful for the recognition and support from West Jordan’s administration and council,” Sloan said.

While the City Recorder’s office may not always be in the spotlight, it plays a pivotal role in the community. Here are five essential functions of Sloan’s office you should know about:

4. Marriage License Issuance: Although the City Recorder’s office is a hub of various services, it does not issue marriage licenses. This responsibility falls under the jurisdiction of the county. For marriage license inquiries, visit the Salt Lake County Clerk’s office.
5. Deeds and Home Ownership: If you’re looking for records related to the deeds of your home, you’ll need to turn to the Salt Lake County Clerk’s office. The City Recorder’s office does not maintain these documents. For more information on this matter, please visit the County Recorder’s website.
