General Document Guidelines

  • Checks for recording real estate documents are distributed to different departments. To avoid confusion separate checks are required for recording fees, state deed tax, mortgage registration tax and real estate taxes (current or delinquent)
  • If numerous documents are submitted for recording all the recording fees may be submitted on one check.
  • For a prompt and accurate return of documents, return envelopes are appreciated with all document submissions.
  • Real estate documents are returned to the submitter unless an addressed stamped envelope is submitted with the document for the purpose of returning to a different party or address.
  • To request a document be tracted against a specific real estate parcel, the legal description must be received at the time of recording.  Requests to add legal descriptions at a later date will not be accepted. 
  • To make corrections within a real estate document, use XXX or a solid line to show the error and write or type the correction and initial to identify the person making the correction. Do NOT use whiteout/correction tape.
  • Do not use highlighter on a document to be recorded or filed. 
  • A corrective document needs a reference to the original document number of the statement to be corrected and a statement as to what is corrected. 
  • Blanket assignments need to include legal descriptions.  
  • Isanti County does not have a conservation fee.
