Eddy County records

In Eddy County, New Mexico, much of the mineral estate is state, federal, or tribal — not county-recorded. Here is where each layer lives: the State Land Office, the BLM, the BIA, the county clerk, and the local title plant, with the coverage each source carries.

03 · How to pull the records

Pulling the records

  1. 01

    Start with the sovereign layer. In New Mexico much of the mineral estate is state, federal, or tribal — so the courthouse is often not the recording office.

  2. 02

    State-trust minerals are leased through the NM State Land Office (SLOConnect); federal minerals through the BLM; tribal and allotted minerals through the BIA agency of record.

  3. 03

    The county clerk records fee-land deeds and leases; the Oil Conservation Division carries well and lease records. New Mexico assessors value surface, not minerals, so they carry no mineral accounts.

  4. 04

    Title and abstract work runs through the local plant. Online hosts mirror parts of the index for convenience — check the coverage dates on each before relying on it.

Keep the deal documents organized

Scout doesn't run title — that stays with you and your title shop. Once you've pulled the records, Scout keeps the resulting documents (leases, deeds, curative, W-9s) organized against each deal.
