All deeds and/or conveyances of real property requiring documentary stamps must be accompanied with proof of purchase price, i.e. bill of sale, sales contract, receipt, etc. This documentation is for purchase price verification only and will not be recorded.
Identify schedules and exhibits clearly and number the pages so we can tell they belong with the document and are not an additional recording.

Include a self addressed stamped envelope to ensure return of the document to the desired party. If there is not a self addressed envelope included, all instruments are returned to the party submitting the document for recording.
