Legal Advice
The Assessor/Recorder Department is prohibited from giving legal advice; nor can staff assist the public in the preparation of legal documents. If you have questions concerning which document form is appropriate for your transaction, or if you are in need of assistance in the preparation of that document, you should consult an attorney or obtain other professional advice.

Recording Priority
The Recorder Division records only those documents permitted by state law. Recording priority is given first to documents received over the counter, secondly to express and overnight mail, and thirdly to documents sent USPS. A document deposited with the Recorder must meet recording requirements and the proper fees must be included to ensure recordation. All applicable fees must be paid at time of recording.

Recording Fees (Govt Code 27360 et seq)
See Fee Schedule for the list of recording fees. Recording fees are established by state law and county ordinance; and are due at time of recording. Make check payable to Solano County Recorder. If you are uncertain of the exact fee amount you may leave the amount blank and state below the amount line, "check not to exceed $xx dollars". Your check will be completed for the exact amount of the fees due.

Basic Recording Requirements
The standard page size of a document is 8 ½" x 11". A $3.00 fee is charged on all documents other than standard size of 8 ½" x 11" to each page of entire document.

Each document submitted for recordation shall have at least a ½" margin on each vertical side. The top 2.5" of the first page (right side) is reserved for the Recorder?s recording label and the left side is used to show the requestor's name and the name and address to which the document is to be returned following recording.
