As of January 1, 2018, California is imposing a $75 tax on recording documents relating to real property. There are a few exemptions, including a transfer to an owner-occupied residence. Your Guideway associate can tell you if your document(s) is(are) subject to the tax. Since we must pay the tax at the time of recording, we will be collecting it in addition to our fee.
When notarizing a signature on a document, a notary public must be able to communicate with the signer in the same language. An interpreter must not be used. If one of our notaries is unable to communicate with a customer, the customer will be referred to a notary public who speaks the customer’s language. The customer will be responsible for paying the fees charged by the outside notary.
