COUNTY CLAIMS OFFICE

This one-story brick building houses a branch office of the County Recorder (whose office is in Brewster).  Dennis Winston, Deputy County Recorder, holds office hours there from 9 to 6 (with an hour off for lunch between noon and 1 o'clock) six days a week (closing only on Sunday).

Winston will charge a $2 filing fee to record a claim to any unclaimed land in El Dorado County.  For an additional $10 fee, he will make an official survey of the claim (which will help protect it from claim jumpers). Winston and his wife, Sherry, live in building 168.
