The data on the Declarations and Ownership Data page is public record information taken from the Utah Count property search site.
From the document page for the EMMA declarations recorded on Oct. 29th, 2009 I gathered the data from all the links to the affected properties.
Not every property listed on the EMMA declaration recording is shown in the data. About a dozen or so links from that page didn’t work or didn’t have property records that could be found.
Not every property listed with the EMMA declaration has an allegedly problematic timeline for EMMA filing the declaration. If MVR owned the property in 2009 when the declaration was filed, they were within their rights to do so.
Declarations
Each property record shows the declaration of covenants documents filed against that property. If a declaration was recorded after the first warranty deed was issued for the property, the ‘card’ for the declaration is colored orange. Otherwise, it’s green. A green declaration ‘card’ indicates the declaration was filed before the first warranty deed was issued. If a declaration card is yellow, it’s probably an amended declaration document.
Ownership Documents
A warranty deed is a legal document used in real estate transactions where the seller (grantor) guarantees to the buyer (grantee) that they have clear title to the property, meaning they have the legal right to sell it and there are no outstanding claims or liens against the property, essentially protecting the buyer from any future issues with the title of the property they are purchasing; it is considered the most secure type of deed for buyers.
Only warranty deeds are shown here. The first warranty deed is colored blue. There are other types of ownership records for properties, but I’m trying to be conservative about what represents a transfer of ownership as I understand it.
The full set of documents recorded against a property can be seen on the documents tab for the property on the county’s website.
