How long does it take to record a document?
Documents are recorded on the same day that they are received in the office. Each document goes through a multi-step process when it is filed. The document is evaluated on the basis of completeness, compliance with state statutes; and then scanned for obvious errors. The proper fee is then assessed and no document is filed until the fee has been paid. (Please refer to the Fee Schedule and Instrument Filing Guidelines for more information fees and document preparation.)

After these steps are completed the documents are recorded in the proper reception books and indices. When the indexing is completed the document is reproduced digitally and as a hard copy; the original documents may then be sent back to their place of origin. If you have any questions, please contact the Register of Deeds.
