How do I record documents in the Recorder of Deeds Office?
All documents presented to us for recording must be original, properly executed, signed, dated, and acknowledged before a Notary Public with the notarys seal signature, and date of expiration, before they can be accepted for recording. All recording fees and transfer taxes are payable at the time of recording. The document will be assigned an Instrument number, a Volume and Page and it will be stamped with the time of recording and the recorders certification will be entered. Receipts will be issued at the time of recording. A stamped self-addressed envelope for the return of the documents is required. When the documents have been officially recorded they are scanned and indexed into the Landex Computer system.
