- To be recorded, a document must be an original.

- The document must be clearly readable and reproducible. White paper size 8.5x11 inches should be used. Black ink with a font size of at least 12 point will help to ensure legibility.

- Corresponding names must be typed or printed beneath signatures, except for notaries and witnesses. The grantor must sign the document and have his/her signature notarized.

- All documents must be acknowledged (notarized) in accordance with Wyoming law.

- At the top of the first page, provide adequate room for the recording stamp. A top margin of 3 inches should be sufficient.

- A legal description of the real property needs to be provided. If a metes and bounds description is used, and a map delineating the land has already been recorded, the deed may make reference to the recorded map.

STATEMENT OF CONSIDERATION

A Wyoming Statement of Consideration should accompany a document submitted for recording. This confidential document used by the County Assessor to determine market value of all property in the county needs to be fully completed and sworn. It is the responsibility of the buyer (or the buyer's agent) to complete the Statement of Consideration and if necessary, retain a copy of the completed form for their records.

If an exemption applies to the transaction, the submission of a Statement of Consideration is not required by law. However, submitting the statement, complete through Part C with a signature under Part E, may avoid the necessity of the County Assessor contacting the buyer (or buyer's agent) to affirm applicability of an exemption. A list of exemptions, as well as the form itself, can be found on the Uinta County Recorder's webpage, under the link "Wyoming Statement of Consideration."
