* The document should be in English or should be accompanied by an accurate English translation.

* Each document submitted for recording should be on white paper that measures 8.5x11 inches. Individual pages of the document should not be continuously bound at the top, sides, or bottom.

* Printing should be single-sided only. Black ink in a font size of at least 12 point should be used.

* In the upper right corner on the first page, a space of 4.5 x 2.5 inches should be provided for the recording label. All other margins on this page and on subsequent pages should be at least 1 inch.

* The names of all persons whose signatures appear on the instrument must be typed or printed on the instrument.

* A legal description of the real property should be provided on the document.

* To facilitate the abstracting of real property documents, the Recorder's Office requires that the applicable tax serial number of each parcel affected by the instrument appears on the instrument before it is accepted for recording. The tax serial number is not considered to be part of the legal description and can be entered in the margin of the deed. An error in the tax serial number does not affect the validity of the instrument or effectiveness of the recording.

* The total consideration paid should be listed in the document.

* A document conveying title to real property must name the grantee and recite a mailing address to be used for assessment and taxation.

* If a person submits a document for recording that is subject to and complies with the Real Estate Settlement and Procedure Act, 12 U.S.C. Sec. 2601 et seq. for a residential property described in Subsection (4)(a), the person shall notify the county recorder by including the word "RESPA" in at least 16 point font on the front page of each document. The County Recorder may use the RESPA fees but is not required to refund a fee or change a fee amount shown on a recorded RESPA document.

WATER RIGHTS ADDENDA

If submitting a deed that conveys a fee simple title to land or if conveying water rights without conveying title to land, a water rights addendum must be included with the deed when it is presented for recording.

A water rights addendum identifies and describes the water rights that are transferred under an applicable deed or states that no water rights are transferred under the applicable deed.

The grantor is required to complete and sign the water rights addendum. The grantee should sign the addendum to acknowledge receipt. The grantee's signature can be a facsimile or done by electronic means.
