Ben Hill County Recording Information |
|
Recording real estate deeds in Ben Hill County, Georgia.
The Clerk of Courts is responsible for recording and indexing a variety of real property documents. Warranty deeds, quitclaims, mortgages, and many other documents related to real property are recorded with the Clerk of Courts, provided that all fees have been paid.
Every deed conveying lands shall be recorded in the office of the clerk of the superior court of the county where the land is located. A deed may be recorded at any time; but a prior unrecorded deed loses its priority over a subsequent recorded deed from the same vendor when the purchaser takes such deed without notice of the existence of the prior deed.
DOCUMENT FORMAT
• Submit documents on white 8.5x11 inch paper. To ensure legibility, use black ink in a font size of at least 10 point.
• Deeds must be signed by the grantor in front of a notary and one witness. Corresponding names should be typed or printed beneath signatures.
• On the first page, provide a top margin of at least 3 inches. All other margins on the first page and on subsequent pages should be at least 1 inch.
• At the top of the first page, provide the name and address of the person to whom the document will be returned after recording.
• Also on the first page, the name and address of the grantee needs to be given.
• A legal description of the real property should be provided. This should include the lot, block, and subdivision name.
PT-61 TRANSFER TAX FORM
The transfer tax form must be prepared and filed with all deeds that transfer property. The correct map and parcel number must be provided on the PT-61 form. To prepare a PT-61 form, visit the Georgia Superior Court Clerks’ Cooperative Authority website.
