4. Pay the recording fee ($100.00 standard-size document (effective July 1, 2023); increasing to $113.00 effective Aug 3, 2026 per County Ordinance 26-12 first / included in flat fee; non-standard/handwritten/no recording space on top: $112.00 (rising to $125.00 Aug 3, 2026) add'l).

How Jurably helps in Scott

Jurably isn’t a deed-filing desk — it’s how real-estate investors get the important paperwork done. If you’re under contract on a Scott property, we file a memorandum of contract to secure your equitable interest so the seller can’t sell out from under you. Need it notarized first? We handle online notarization or send a mobile notary to your signer. Then we record it — by certified mail on the paper rail — and return the recorded instrument. It’s a self-help filing service, not legal advice.
