Certificate of County Recorder
According to Idaho Code, the county clerk or recorder shall file all approved plats, and the date shall be endorsed on the plat. While the date is the only item specifically mentioned in the code, the remainder of the recording data is required at the discretion of the County Recorder for filing purposes.
The Recorder is also restricted by the code, in that the Recorder cannot accept a plat for recording unless specific items are included (I.C. 50-1308).
Review
· Is the jurisdiction correct?
· Are all of the elements in the Certificate?
· Depending on the wording of the Certificate, are there enough spaces to write in individual page numbers? If the Book/Pages are not specified in the Certificate, do they show up elsewhere?
· If the Recorders name or year is already filled in, is it correct? Timing issues may preclude the year being correct. And since the Clerk/Auditor/Recorder is an elected position, the name may be subject to change in an election year.
· If the “at the request of” is filled in, does it match the Owner of Record? While this is checked, we do not usually comment on it. Anyone can record this for the owner as their agent. However there may be some grey areas associated with liability that should be reviewed with providers of Errors and Omissions insurance, before any name other than the Owners is used.
