HB 5367 Michigan House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Property: recording; requirements for recording with register of deeds; modify. Amends sec. 1 of 1937 PA 103 (MCL 565.201). TIE BAR WITH: HB 5365'25

This bill amends Michigan's property recording rules to standardize formatting and privacy requirements for deeds, mortgages, and other property transfers recorded with county registers of deeds. Key changes include requiring documents to be printed on 20-pound white paper in 10-point font with clear addresses, obscuring the first five digits of Social Security numbers after specified dates, and mandating legible signatures with printed names beneath them. These rules apply to anyone submitting property documents for recording, ensuring consistent formatting and reducing privacy risks. The bill focuses on procedural clarity rather than substantive policy changes to property transactions.
