Notice to all security deed filers
While HB 974 becomes effective on July 1, 2023, this office strongly recommends that you immediately begin including the information mandated in that legislation.
Clerks of Superior Court believe that including the nine items required will result in significantly fewer rejections by our offices.
Thanks for your attention to this request.
