4. Pay the recording fee ($50.00 (deed, includes required computer-generated cover page) first / $5.00 per additional page; $0.50 per additional name over two; $0.50 per cross-reference add'l (+TP-584 Transfer Tax Affidavit $5.00; RP-5217 $125 (residential/agricultural) or $250 (all other); transfer tax $4.00 per $1,000 (exempt under $500); mortgage tax 1%)).

How Jurably helps in Lewis

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 Lewis 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.
