Faxing between the parties in a Montgomery County closing
A copy of a recorded deed for the lender, or a lien release to the title company, is a common fax in a Montgomery County transaction. A recorded deed copy, a satisfaction of mortgage, or a correction document may be requested by fax by a party to the deal. A confirmation page is worth keeping whenever a fax carries a payoff, a release, or a recorded copy for Montgomery County.
Recording vs. Faxing in Montgomery County
In Montgomery 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. 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.
