State Statute sets the fees and must be paid before documents can be recorded. There are five basic steps to recording documents:
1. Recording data is placed on document, date, time, book and page, and then placed on reception record.
2. It is indexed on our numerical tract index where the property is located.
3. Placed in direct and indirect index, which is alphabetized.
4. For land transfers, we have an ownership file, which we post deed book and page, name of owner, how owned and legal description.
5. All of the information is placed on the computer.
