Recording Jeffersonville Property Documents

All real property documents in Jeffersonville must go through a standard three-step process before they are officially recorded. First, the County Assessor reviews and stamps the deed. Second, the County Auditor transfers and endorses the document. Third, the Recorder records it and assigns a document number. Both the Auditor and the Recorder collect fees at their respective offices. The Clark County Auditor accepts cash and checks only. The Clark County Recorder accepts cash, checks, and credit cards, though a convenience fee applies to card payments.

Under IC 36-2-11, county recorders are required to maintain a public record of all instruments affecting real property.

Margins must be at least two inches on the top and bottom of the first and last pages. Font size must be at least 10-point black ink. Every document must carry a "Prepared by" statement, and any Social Security numbers must be removed before filing.

Recording fees follow the statewide schedule. Deeds cost $25. Mortgages cost $55. Other standard documents are $25. Oversized pages over 9 by 15 inches add $5 per page. Copies are $1 per page for standard sizes up to 11 by 17 inches and $5 per page for larger formats. Certified copies add $5 to the cost.
