Lewis and Clark County recorded a flurry of property activity in late July, including a deed transferring county-held land to the Unionville Community Collaborative and a certificate of survey covering two sections in Township 10 North, Range 4 West — moves that together suggest the county is actively reshaping its real estate footprint on Helena's edges.
The deed to the Unionville Community Collaborative, recorded July 22 in Book M65 at Page 6226, marks the county as both the prior owner and the transferring party. The Unionville Community Collaborative, whose mission centers on community-based land stewardship in the Unionville area north of Helena, becomes the new record holder under that filing. No purchase price was listed in the recorded documents.
A week later, on July 30, the recorder's office logged a separate deed showing Lewis and Clark County transferring a parcel to itself — a procedural instrument typically used to clear title, correct a prior recording error, or consolidate ownership under a unified legal description. That same day, a certificate of survey was filed by the county covering land in Sections 13 and 24 of Township 10 North, Range 4 West, a surveying action that often precedes subdivision, sale, or a boundary adjustment.
Taken together, the five filings recorded between July 22 and July 30 — spanning three distinct properties and touching sources across real estate, development, and capital flow records — point to a county that is both cleaning up its books and moving at least one parcel into community hands. Residents with questions about the Unionville transfer or the surveyed sections can contact the Lewis and Clark County Recorder's Office or the County Commission.
