Why recording in Leon County is not a fax
In Leon 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.

For anything that is not the recording itself — a copy, a search, correspondence — fax can still be the right tool.
