Recording a Deed or Document in Monroe, MS

Can you e-record in Monroe?

Yes. Monroe accepts electronic recording through Simplifile, so a properly formatted document can be recorded the same or next business day without mailing paper.

How to record a document in Monroe, Mississippi

1. Prepare the document so it meets Monroe 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 electronically through Simplifile, or by mail to Monroe County Chancery Clerk (land records/deeds recorder for Mississippi counties are handled by the Chancery Clerk, not a separate 'Recorder') at Monroe County Chancery Clerk, P.O. Box 578 (Monroe County Courthouse, 201 W. Commerce St.), Aberdeen, MS 39730.
4. Pay the recording fee ($26.00 (includes indexing, first 5 pages) first / $1.00 per page after page 5 add'l (+$1.00 archive/records-management fee per instrument; mineral stamp fee $0.08/mineral acre where applicable ($1.00 minimum); $4.00 per additional section/subdivision lot referenced)).
5. Receive the recorded instrument back with its book/page or instrument number as proof of record.

How Jurably helps in Monroe

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 Monroe 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 — electronically through the county’s approved network — and return the recorded instrument. It’s a self-help filing service, not legal advice.
