Title Companies, Lending Institutions, and other Recording Customers

Each document submitted for recording should be accompanied by a separate check totaling the amount of fees and transfer tax due, if any. No more than 25 documents shall be submitted for recording with a single check.

Transfer tax and recording fees submitted with unrecordable documents will be refunded and returned with the unrecorded document(s) and the original check submitted for recording. Therefore, we recommend that all documents be carefully reviewed to assure compliance with recording requirements before being submitted.

Documents submitted to, and recorded by this office will be returned in the same manner in which they were received. If they were hand-delivered, they must be picked up by the same firm or agent who delivered them for recording. If the documents submitted for recording were mailed, they will be mailed back to the Return To address on the document. We will not return recorded documents in pre-addressed return envelopes.

All documents submitted for recording will be returned approximately 4 to 6 weeks from the date that they were received and recorded by this office.
