San Diego County runs from the Pacific coast east to the Anza-Borrego Desert and shares its southern edge with the U.S.–Mexico border. The City of San Diego is the county seat, and the County Recorder handles everything from coastal La Jolla and Coronado deeds to inland rural parcels in the back country.
California uses the Grant Deed as its primary deed of conveyance, recorded with the County Recorder. For property in San Diego County, that means deeds, mortgages, and other real-property instruments are filed with the San Diego County Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk.
