Statewide representation

A county resource hub for California foreclosure surplus matters.

Foreclosure records, court locations, and recorder offices vary by county. This directory lists the official county recorder and superior court for all 58 California counties, as a starting point for locating a trustee’s deed or filing a claim. It is general information, not legal advice, and it does not replace independently researched, county-specific guidance.

How this directory was built

Sourced from official recorder and court websites.

Each entry below links to that county’s own recorder (or assessor-clerk-recorder) office and to its Superior Court, compiled from the California Courts “Find My Court” directory and the County Recorders Association of California (CRA) statewide contact list, cross-checked against individual county and court sites where phone numbers are shown. Some smaller counties do not publish a single consolidated phone number online; in those cases only the official website is listed so you can find the right department.

Verify before you rely on this.

Directory last compiled August 19, 2026. County offices and courts periodically change phone numbers, addresses, and website domains (several California courts are actively migrating to new [county].courts.ca.gov addresses). Always confirm current contact details on the linked official site before relying on them, and treat this page as a starting point for research rather than a substitute for speaking with the recorder, the court, or an attorney about your specific matter.

What full county guides will add

This directory is the foundation—deeper guides come next.

How to identify a trustee’s deed and any related civil case for a specific property
Local courthouse and filing information, including which department handles surplus-fund deposits or interpleader actions
Common document requests and how each recorder’s office handles them (in person, by mail, or online)
When probate or estate proceedings may intersect with a surplus-funds claim
A county-specific case-review call to action

Editorial plan

Statewide directory is live; in-depth county pages are built in priority order.

All 58 counties now have a linked recorder and superior court entry above. The next phase is independently researched, in-depth guides for the highest-volume counties first—San Diego, Los Angeles, Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange, and Sacramento—each reviewed before publication.

Important

Court information and procedures can change. Link to official sources and date every substantive county guide.
