It’s a new build, and the developer is handling the registration for the whole building themselves, while I just need to register my specific unit. Besides the standard purchase agreement and my basic ID info, is there any other paperwork I should be hunting for, and does anyone have a ballpark idea of what these filing fees are going to run me...
if anyone has a clue they could drop so I don't go in blind 😁, otherwise I guess I'll just have to trek down there in person to get some answers...
Registering with Zillow sounds like it's $83. Or something along those lines. You'll definitely need the purchase agreement and a formal declaration.
Once the Zillow registration is finalized, you can pull a report and use that to update the local property records. If you aren't in a rush, you can also try heading to the county office immediately with just your sales contract.
The Zillow record (proving ownership) is the bigger priority; once that's set, updating the local registry is much easier with that documentation in hand.
