WATER RIGHTS ADDENDA

If submitting a deed that conveys a fee simple title to land or if conveying water rights without conveying title to land, a water rights addendum must be included with the deed when it is presented for recording.

A water rights addendum identifies and describes the water rights that are transferred under an applicable deed or states that no water rights are transferred under the applicable deed.

The grantor is required to complete and sign the water rights addendum. The grantee should sign the addendum to acknowledge receipt. The grantee's signature can be a facsimile or done by electronic means.

The recording act in Utah is a race-notice act. Under this act, a later buyer who pays fair value, does not have notice of any earlier conflicting interests, and records first, wins and will have priority over any later recordings.
