382.077 Immediate recording -- Priority of documents.

Documents physically presented to a county clerk for recording during regular business

hours shall be considered for immediate recording if requested by the party presenting the

documents, except that the county clerk may refuse unreasonable requests. Documents

delivered by all other methods shall be processed as they are received, with priority

assigned by the date the documents are received. All documents received on a given date

shall have equal priority, and the county clerk shall have discretion to decide in what

order documents are processed. A county clerk shall be held harmless for any disputes

that arise regarding the timing of a recorded document.
