StatewideOnly instruments which are the originally signed documents, including electronic documents recorded pursuant to the Uniform Real Property Electronic Recording Act, or properly certified or authenticated copies thereof may be properly recorded. The county clerk shall require any person presenting a document for recording which is legible but not sufficiently clear to produce a readable copy to substitute a clear original or legible true copy of the original document. Execution of deeds, mortgages or other conveyances of lands shall be acknowledged before any notarial officer.
Double-sided documents: each side counts as one page for fees. All documents must have both a "Grantor" and a "Grantee". Documents which need to be abstracted must have a valid and complete Sweetwater County legal description, not abbreviated from the County GIS mapping program. Documents may still be recorded without a legal description, but they will not be abstracted in the tract indexes. Notary seals must be complete, clearly readable, and reproducible.
