In an effort to serve you better:
The Sedgwick County Register of Deeds office is pleased
to announce beginning January 1, 2003, we will begin scanning/imaging all
documents presented to the office for recording.
With this new system we will need to have additional
space on all documents presented for recording. We will need to have a
minimum of 3” at the top of the front page on all documents and 1” at the
bottom of the front page on all documents to have sufficient recording
room for the necessary recording information. This area needs to be
completely blank and if this area is not provided we will need to attach an
additional sheet before your document can be processed.
This additional sheet will become an actual page for your document.
Effective January 1, 2003, we will begin charging an additional $4.00
fee for recording deeds, mortgages, or other instruments of writing and $2.00
for the recording of release or assignment of real estate mortgages for all documents submitted for recording that do not provide us with the
requirement of 3” at the top of the front page and 1” at the bottom of the
front page and 1” at the top and bottom of each additional page, with a ½”
side margin (minimum). Per KSA 28-115.
KSA 28-115 “If sufficient space is not provided for the
necessary recording information and certification on a document, such
recording information shall be placed on an additional sheet and such sheet
shall be counted as a page.”
We appreciate your cooperation with the implementation of
this new system and hope that this will not cause an inconvenience to you.
Should you need additional information, please contact
the Sedgwick County Register of Deeds office at (316) 660-9400.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
