Faxing between the parties in a Lorain County closing
Much of the faxing around a Lorain County property matter is between the parties — a title company, a lender, an escrow agent, an attorney — not to the recorder. A title company confirming a payoff, a lender needing a recorded copy, or an escrow agent circulating a document all lean on fax. For those, online fax sends the document without a machine and returns a delivery confirmation to keep with the file.
Recording vs. Faxing in Lorain County
To record a deed or mortgage in Lorain County, the recorder's office takes the original instrument, properly notarized, with fees — a fax is not how it is recorded. E-recording through a submitter such as Simplifile, CSC, or ePN is common, alongside in-person and mail recording. For anything that is not the recording itself — a copy, a search, correspondence — fax can still be the right tool.
