Bill > HB951

This bill makes two primary changes to Maryland's real property recordation laws. First, it removes the requirement that printed deeds or other documents submitted for recording must have specific margins, specifically a 3-inch margin at the top of the first page and 1-inch margins on the sides of each page, which were intended for official use. Second, it mandates that when a clerk of the circuit court makes any changes or corrections to the general alphabetical index, which is a comprehensive list of all recorded deeds and instruments, they must date that specific change or correction directly on the same horizontal line where the alteration appears.
