For recordings, we've collected the current issues that may arise when dealing with different states and counties.

Illinois: Deeds require a MyDec form: link to the MyDec form. Some towns/cities may require a transfer stamp to be obtained from them before the recorder can record the deed, even when exempt from taxes.

Chicago requires the completed MyDec and a water certificate to provide the transfer stamp and will only do them in person, not by mail. Parcel Identification numbers and a "prepared by" statement with the address are required on all documents.

Indiana: Deeds have a conveyance form: link to the conveyance form

Iowa: Non-exempt deeds require a Statement of Value: link to the Declaration of Value form. You will also need a groundwater hazard form: here is a link to the groundwater hazard form.
