HB 2281 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Modifies fees for recording or copying certain documents presented for recording

HB 2281 modifies requirements for documents submitted to county recorders for property records. It sets specific formatting rules (e.g., minimum 8-point black ink, white paper, 3-inch top margin) and adds a $25 fee for documents that don’t meet these standards. This affects property owners, real estate agents, and attorneys who submit deeds, mortgages, or other land-related documents. The bill does not change property law but ensures documents meet consistent formatting to streamline recording. Non-compliant documents must pay the fee to be accepted for recording.
