Tips for e-Recording

  • Document Types: If the document transfers title and State Deed Tax (SDT) needs to be collected, submit the document as a transfer document type. If the document is a mortgage, submit as a mortgage document type and choose w/MRT or exempt. All other document types, submit as miscellaneous. 
  • Current Year Taxes: Current year taxes are not required to be paid at the time of recording unless there is a split in tax parcel. However, current year taxes are often collected and paid as part of the closing settlement. To obtain current year tax information contact the Clay County Treasurer's Office. Current year tax payments need to be paid online, mailed or delivered to the Treasurer's Office and are not considered part of the e-recording process.
  • Delinquent Property Tax: Please pay delinquent tax along with current tax before recording.
  • Modification: When a modification increases the principal mortgage amount, submit as a mortgage document type.  The MRT will be collected with the recording fee automatically.
