Immediate Release
September 8, 2009
Batavia, Ohio. If you need to have a document recorded at the Clermont County Recorder’s Office, there are new document standards to follow, as mandated by Ohio House Bill 525. “The standards are designed to make the documents consistent, and easier to download,” said Clermont County Recorder Debbie Clepper.
The guidelines require documents to be a minimum paper size of 8 ½ by 11, with one inch margins on each side of the page, a minimum size of 10 point for the font, and no use of highlighting. Documents that do not conform to the guidelines (available at www.Recorder.ClermontCountyOhio.gov) will be assessed an additional $20 recording fee.
“The Recorder’s Office keeps the vital records pertaining to ownership in real estate (land) and to all encumbrances or liens upon it,” said Clepper. Questions about the new document guidelines can be directed to the recorder’s Office at (513) 732-7236, or e-mail recorder@co.clermont.oh.us.
