Questions answered? Let's get started!
A recorded Vermont deed with a wrong lot number, a misspelled name, or a missing plat reference does not have to stay wrong in the town land records. This Vermont Correction Deed is set up for one grantor: the individual who signed the recorded deed re-executes the same conveyance with the error corrected, identifies the error on the face of the new deed, and records the corrected version in the same land records.
One grantor, signing alone, correcting a recorded deed
The form recites a single grantor and carries one signature line and one notary acknowledgment certificate. A sole owner who conveyed by warranty deed or quitclaim deed, then found a scrivener's error in the recorded instrument, presents the pattern this deed recites: the same person signs again, alone, and the corrected conveyance runs to the same grantee on the same terms. The form is not set up as a two-grantor, entity, or fiduciary instrument; deeds signed by co-owners, by a company through an officer, or by a trustee follow different signing and recital patterns.
The deed identifies the prior recorded deed by instrument type, signing date, recording date, and book and page in the town or city land records, then states the error and the correction in plain terms, so a later reader of the chain of title sees exactly what changed. The full corrected legal description is written out in its own section rather than by reference to the erroneous version, and a description that refers to a recorded plat or survey cites the volume and page where it is recorded, the citation 27 V.S.A. 341(b) contemplates for survey-referencing deeds.
A correction is not a second sale
Vermont's property transfer tax statute addresses this instrument directly. 32 V.S.A. 9603(4) exempts transfers that, without additional consideration, confirm or correct a transfer previously recorded, and the Department of Taxes implements that exemption as code 04 on the Property Transfer Tax Return, Form PTT-172. The return itself is still filed: under 32 V.S.A. 9608 a Vermont town clerk cannot record a deed evidencing a transfer unless a completed return accompanies it, and a return claiming an exemption states its basis. The deed's operative section states that it is given without additional consideration to confirm and correct the recorded transfer, the same language the statute uses, and the guide walks through claiming exemption 04 on the return, which is prepared separately and is not included in this package.
The corrective deed, sometimes called a deed of correction or confirmatory deed, holds itself to the original transaction in its own text: it conveys no greater interest than the prior deed conveyed, neither enlarges nor limits the prior deed's covenants of title, and carries no covenant or warranty of its own. A change that adds consideration, switches parties, or conveys different land sits outside the correction exemption and is a new conveyance with its own tax treatment.
Recording in Vermont's town land records
Vermont records deeds by municipality rather than by county, so the correction deed goes back to the clerk of the same town or city holding the prior deed. The statewide fee is fifteen dollars per page plus fifteen dollars for filing the transfer tax return, and the form reserves space at the top of its first page for the clerk's recording information. The grantor acknowledges the deed before a notary public; Vermont requires no witnesses on a deed, and the certificate on the form carries the notary name and commission number lines Vermont's notarial statutes describe for tangible records.
The package contains the correction deed as a fillable PDF, a completed example showing the entire document filled in for a realistic Vermont fact pattern, and a plain language guide that walks through every section, the signing formalities, and the recording steps. The materials describe Vermont law in general terms and are not legal advice.

The process was easy and reasonable. My only problem was that, when I filled out my form on the computer, the writing I did overlapped with the pre-written words on the form, so that I had to end up doing it by hand. I've used DEEDS before and have not had that problem.
Thank you for your feedback Cherene. We've emailed you for some followup regarding the issue you reported.

This was such an easy process and even tho you had to pay a $15 - to me it was well worth not having to drive downtown etc or take the risk of mailing the documents (fearing that they would get lost). I'll be using this from now on...
We appreciate your business and value your feedback. Thank you. Have a wonderful day!

My first submission was super quick and easy. I had trouble with the second submission, as I was not aware of what the county would require, but the team at Deeds.com walked me through every step of the process. Will definitely use again and refer business partners to Deeds.com!
Thank you, Jason! We’re glad your first submission went smoothly and appreciate your patience with the second. County requirements can vary, and we’re always here to help make the process as simple as possible. We look forward to assisting you — and your business partners — again soon!

I am pleased with this electronic service in making a time sensitive deed transfer since very few options exist currently with the Covid 19 Crisis. This was the only rapid and available option to record the deed transfer and the fee was reasonable. I was able to upload my notarized and executed document and had a record number as well as the official document within 24 hours. It was simple and easy to use. Thank you deeds.com!!
Thank you Giustino, glad we could help.
