It took 7 months and 8 trips to the court house to get my deed recorded. First they told me it would take 60 days. Then they said it was all good "your doc stamps, everything was paid". Then they said I needed to pay doc stamps. Then they lost the payment for the doc stamps which they refuse to give a receipt for - really? Who takes money and does not give receipts? But they "are not set up for that." Very frustrating.Eventually they found it and sent it to the recorders office. However, 4 years ago it went smooth with another property. One trip and done. If I remember, back then they gave receipts.
