Combining Fees in 1 Check

Recording / Related Miscellaneous Fees

It is okay to combine recording / related miscellaneous fees in 1 check when multiple documents (a set) are submitted for recording for 1 client / customer. For example, satisfaction, mortgage and assignment for 1 client / customer. If there are problems with 1 or more of the documents for the client / customer, the entire set will be returned without recording.

When documents are submitted for several clients / customers it is best to make separate recording fee checks for each client / customer. This way, if documents for 1 client / customer have to be returned without recording, there is no effect on the rest of the documents submitted for other clients / customers.

Write checks for recording / related miscellaneous fees to Clay County Recorder's Office.

Mortgage Registry Tax & State Deed Tax Fees

  • Mortgage registry tax and state deed tax fees can be combined in 1 check.
  • Delinquent taxes must be paid in a separate check from current year taxes.
  • Do not combine recording / related miscellaneous fees and taxes in 1 check.

Write checks for taxes to Clay County Treasurer's Office.
