Summary

The Posey County Commissioners voted 3-0 to amend the recorder ordinance to change recording language from "may" to "shall," requiring the original reference on the front page and a legal description that includes section, township and range.

Posey County Recorder Chris Hoehn told the board March 3 that the county’s recorder ordinance currently states the recorder "may" record assignments of oil, gas or mineral interests and advised changing the language to "shall." Hoehn said the change would require the original reference on the front page and would require a legal description with section, township and range.

Commissioner Eric Koester moved to waive the second reading and approve the ordinance; Commissioner Greg Newman seconded. The motion carried 3-0.
