It is ok to combine Recording/Related Miscellaneous Fees in one check when:  multiple documents (a set) are submitted for recording for one client/customer.  (ie:  Satisfaction, Mortgage and Assignment for one client/customer).  If there are problems with one or more of the documents for the client/customer, the entire set will be returned without recording. 

When documents are submitted for several client/customers it is best to make separate recording fee checks for each client/customer.   This way, if documents for one client/customer have to be returned without recording, there is no effect on the rest of the documents submitted for other client/customers. 

Write checks for Recording/Related Miscellaneous Fees to Clay County Recorder’s Office.

Mortgage Registry Tax and State Deed Tax fees can be combined in one check.  Delinquent taxes must be a separate check from current year taxes.

Write checks for Taxes to Clay County Treasurer’s Office. 

Do not combine Recording/Related Miscellaneous Fees and Taxes in one check.
