Map Office Guidelines for E-filing:

All deeds MUST be faxed, emailed or delivered to the office at least 24 business hours prior to recording. Deeds do not have to be executed for the pre-approval process. If an E-file arrives without pre-approval it will go to review and will not be completed till the following business day. E-recordings are done in the order they are received. By our guidelines we do have 48 hours to process all deeds but we strive to complete them in 24 hours.
