2. Notarize it if the instrument requires acknowledgment — most deeds and affidavits do.
3. Submit by mail to Letcher County Clerk (deeds/real property) at 156 Main Street, Suite 102, Whitesburg, KY 41858.
4. Pay the recording fee ($50.00 for first 5 pages (confirmed) first / $3.00 per page over 5 pages (confirmed) add'l (+$1.00 tax per $1,000 paid for property (documentary/transfer tax, functionally equivalent to statewide $0.50/$500); certified copies $5 for up to 3 pages, $0.50/page thereafter)).

How Jurably helps in Letcher County

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 Letcher County 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.
