How to record a document in Montgomery, Ohio

1. Prepare the document so it meets Montgomery 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 Montgomery County Recorder at Montgomery County Recorder, 451 West Third Street, Dayton, OH 45422-1387.
4. Pay the recording fee ($39.00 (first 2 pages) first / $8.00 per additional page add'l (+$4.00 marginal notation fee (release of mortgages); UCC filings $12.00 plus $4.00 per name indexed; certified copies $2.00/page plus $1.00 certification; $20.00 non-standard document fee)).
5. Receive the recorded instrument back with its book/page or instrument number as proof of record.

How Jurably helps in Montgomery

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 Montgomery 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.
