Recording vs. Faxing in Lee County

In Lee County, an instrument reaches the public record through the clerk of the circuit court's office as a signed, notarized original — a fax does not stand in for it. The instrument is indexed by grantor and grantee once recorded, and a stamped copy comes back to the submitter. That is why this page shows how to confirm the clerk of the circuit court's office's current fax rather than assuming Lee County records by fax.

Reaching the recording office in Lee County
