Faxing to Jackson County Recorder of Deeds, Missouri — FAQ
The legal description or the recorded document number tells staff exactly which instrument you mean. Note the destination — the recorder of deeds or a party — and a contact number on the cover sheet. A delivery confirmation then tells you the fax reached the office.
Yes — much of the faxing in a Jackson County closing is between the title company, lender, escrow agent, and counsel, not to the recorder. A surveyor, an HOA, or a prior lender may also send or request a document by fax during the deal. Online fax sends it without a machine and returns a delivery confirmation for the closing file.
The current line comes from the county's official website, since a public office's number changes. Check the county's recording-office contact page, then verify the line and that fax is accepted. That one verification keeps a records request out of the wrong queue.
As a rule, no. The recorder of deeds records an original document, so a fax is not how something is recorded in Jackson County. Recording is handled by e-recording through an approved submitter, at the counter, or by mail. Where fax fits is the copy or the search request, not the recording — and only where the office confirms it.
