Do you know where your property documents are?

To obtain copies of the documents pertaining to your North River Shores property, you may go to the Property Appraiser’s office in the Martin County courthouse building, provide them with the OR Book and Page numbers listed below, then ask for help in locating them.

1. The Amended and Restated Restrictive Covenants are recorded at OR Book 1422, Pages 0155 – 0157.

2. The Second Amended Bylaws are recorded at OR Book 01701, Pages 1339 – 1348.

3. To locate your original warranty deed (to find out the setbacks for your property), follow this “TIP.” Locate your Title Insurance Policy (T.I.P.) Schedule B. On that page should be an item that states something similar to “subject to restrictions as recorded at OR Book XXX, PG XXX.” This reference is usually the book and page number where the original warranty deed was recorded.

It is a good idea to keep a copy of these documents with other important papers pertaining to your property, so they can be referred to should you decide to make home improvements or sell.
