- The font must be in dark ink.
- The paper cannot be larger than 8.5″ x 14″.[1]
Signatures
Deeds must be signed by the grantor and, if the property is a homestead, their spouse.[2] In order to submit the deed for recording, their signatures must be acknowledged before a notary public.[3]
Recording
To record a deed, it must be submitted to the County Clerk (who is also the Registrar of Deeds) in the county where the property is located.[4] At the time of writing, the recording fee is $18 for the first page and $2 for each additional page.[5]
