General Document Guidelines
- To request a document be tracked against a specific real estate parcel, the legal description must be received at the time of recording. Requests to add legal descriptions at a later date will not be accepted.
- To make corrections within a real estate document, use XXX or a solid line to show the error and write or type the correction and initial to identify the person making the correction. Do NOT use whiteout/correction tape.
- Do not use highlighter on a document to be recorded or filed. Any marks on a certified copy will un-certify it.
- A corrective document needs a reference to the original document number and a statement as to what is being corrected.
- Blanket assignments need to include legal descriptions.
- For a prompt and accurate return of documents, return envelopes are appreciated with all document submissions.
- Real estate documents are returned to the submitter unless an addressed stamped envelope is submitted with the document for the purpose of returning to a different party or address.
