NOTE: Documents that have been unnecessarily stapled and
large packages that have been folded are sometimes difficult to
process and may be damaged by the scanner. Please send larger
packages in flat envelopes.Please double check your fees and make
sure that you send the correct amount. Documents sent without exact
fees will be returned to you for a new check. Due to the high number
of incorrect fees we receive each day, we cannot stop and call about
them.
Multiple documents need to be separated by paperclips or staples;
we cannot be responsible for determining where one ends and another
begins. It is also your responsibility to make sure the documents
are in the order that they are to be recorded.
When filing deeds, you must tell us the full purchase price or
value of the property. We cannot assume how much deed tax is due and
if your filing fees are correct based only on the money sent.
We require two checks for all corporation filings that are to be
sent to the Secretary of State. No cash will be accepted for
Secretary of State's fee. Please call for fees.
Separate checks are also required for UCC filings.
We do not stamp copies, please do not send them. Please do not
send copies in binders.
Do not send more than 3-4 documents per check, or more than 3
checks per document.
Documents being hand delivered need to be in the office by 3:30.
Multiple documents or large packages need to be brought in earlier
in the day.
No out of county personal checks accepted.
If you have any questions, or need assistance in calculating
