Document Formatting Requirements
* Real property documents should be typed, written, or printed in black ink with a minimum font size of 8 point on white paper that is no larger than 8.5 x 14 inches.
* A 2 x 3 inch blank space should be provided in the upper right corner on the first page of the document. This is reserved for the Clerk's sticker.
* An instrument describing two or more transactions between the same parties and involving the same properties, recordable as separate instruments, may be recorded when the instrument is labeled with the names of the transactions described therein.
* The names and addresses of all the parties to be indexed must be listed on the first page.
* If a recording cover sheet is being used, the following should be in the upper left corner:
This cover sheet has been prepared by the person presenting the attached instrument for recording. Any errors in this cover sheet do not affect the transaction(s) contained in the instrument itself. ORS 205.234.
* The name and address of the person to whom the document should be returned should be listed on the first page, in the upper left corner after the cover sheet statement.
* The name and address where future tax statements are to be sent is required on the first page of documents conveying or contracting to convey fee title. This can be in substantially the following form: "Until a change is requested, all tax statements shall be sent to the following address."
* The true and actual consideration paid is required on the first page of documents conveying or contracting to convey fee title.
* For instruments recorded in the county clerk lien records, the lien amount should be shown on the first page.
* The name of the transaction should be on the first page.
* A legal description of the real property needs to be included in the document of conveyance. A legal description is not simply a tax lot number or street address. Acceptable legal descriptions are a subdivision name with lot and block; a metes and bounds description; partition plat recording and parcel number; reference to a book and page or instrument of any previously recorded Curry County record where the legal description may be found.
* A mandatory statement shall be in the body of the instrument that transfers or contracts to transfer fee title to real property, except for owner's sales agreements or earnest money receipts. This statement can be found in the Oregon Revised code, 93.040.
Documents are checked for compliance with Oregon statutes when they are received for recording. If a document cannot be recorded, it is returned to the sender with an explanation for the rejection. If it is recorded, it is returned within 10 days.
