Pay the recording fee ($30 per document for the first 50 pages (deeds, mortgages, assignments, satisfactions, easements, contracts, covenants, resolutions, surveys, lis pendens, leases) per statewide SDCL 7-9-15 schedule; transfer fee $0.50 per $500 of value on deeds with consideration first / $2.00 per additional page over 50 pages (statewide standard) add'l (+unverified — no county-specific records-management/archive rider fee published in sources reviewed; certified/uncertified copy fees follow statewide standard, not separately itemized)).
5. Receive the recorded instrument back with its book/page or instrument number as proof of record.

How Jurably helps in Potter

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 Potter 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.
