Recording a Deed or Document in Jones, MS

Can you e-record in Jones?

Jones records documents submitted by mail or in person. Jurably handles this on the paper rail — we prepare, notarize, mail, and track your document to a recorded instrument number.

How to record a document in Jones, Mississippi

1. Prepare the document so it meets Jones formatting rules (legal description, grantee address, signature block, and the blank margin the recorder reserves for its stamp).
2. Notarize it if the instrument requires acknowledgment — most deeds and affidavits do.
3. Submit by mail to Jones County Chancery Clerk at Jones County Chancery Clerk, 101 North Court Street, Ellisville, MS 39437 (Jones County has two judicial districts - Ellisville 1st District and Laurel 2nd District courthouses; confirm district with clerk).
4. Pay the recording fee ($26.00 (includes indexing, first 5 pages) per statewide LTAMS schedule first / $1.00 per page over 5 add'l (+$1.00 archive fee; $10.00 non-conforming-format penalty; copies $0.25/pg (public) or $0.50/pg (staff); certified copy fee applies)).
5. Receive the recorded instrument back with its book/page or instrument number as proof of record.

How Jurably helps in Jones

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 Jones 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.
