But they may not have:

City of Port Huron Property Records

The City of Port Huron maintains real-property records through its:

Assessor’s Office

The Assessor states that it is responsible for establishing the value of real and personal property located within city boundaries.

The office also specifically maintains:

• Ownership-history records

• Legal descriptions

• Property assessment records

and provides access to online Property Tax and Assessment Information through BS&A.

This makes city records especially valuable when a property owner knows the street address but does not have every technical property detail immediately available.

Port Huron Online Property Tax & Assessment Information

The City of Port Huron provides an online service for:

Property Tax & Assessment Information

through its municipal online-services system.

For deed-preparation research, available city records may help us begin with:

• Property address

• Ownership information

• Assessment information

• Parcel information

• Legal-description information

before cross-referencing those details against the official county deed record.

Port Huron Legal Description Research

One particularly valuable feature of Port Huron’s local records is that the City Assessor specifically maintains:

Legal Descriptions

as part of its real-property records.

That does not mean a deed should be prepared using local assessment data alone.

For professional orders, we may compare:

City Assessor Records + County Parcel Records + Register of Deeds Records + Prior Recorded Deed

in an effort to identify and verify the existing property description.

St. Clair County Property Search

St. Clair County provides a dedicated:

Property Tax & Maps Search

through its Equalization Department.

The county’s current system allows parcel searches using one set of search criteria at a time.

This provides another useful research layer for Port Huron property.

County property records may be used to cross-reference:

• Parcel information

• Property location

• Assessment data

• County valuation records

St. Clair County GIS Parcel Search

St. Clair County maintains a dedicated:

GIS Parcel Search

The county currently states that users may search parcels using:

• Name

• Street name

• Street number

• Parcel ID

Only one search parameter is used at a time.

This is especially helpful when a customer does not know the parcel identification number.

If you know:

The Property Address

that may be enough to begin deeper research.

St. Clair County Parcel Viewer

St. Clair County also maintains an online:

Parcel Viewer / Tax Parcel Mapping System

The county states that users may search the viewer using:

• Parcel ID

• Street name

The county GIS department also directs users to the Parcel Viewer for parcel research and maps.

The public parcel viewer can assist with research involving:

• Known parcel identification numbers

• Survey documents

• Subdivision maps

• Condominium plans

• Tax parcel mapping

Important: GIS Maps Are Research Tools

St. Clair County GIS information can be very helpful during deed preparation.

However:

GIS Is Not a Legal Survey

County GIS data should not be treated as a substitute for:

• A recorded deed

• Certified survey

• Title examination

• Ownership certification

• Attorney title opinion

St. Clair County’s own GIS systems warn that certain parcel data should be verified through the applicable local assessing authority and that GIS information should not be used as a substitute for official legal documentation.

Don’t Have Your Current Recorded Deed?

You may not need to locate it yourself.

The:

St. Clair County Register of Deeds

maintains and preserves land records throughout St. Clair County.

The county states that the Register of Deeds records:

• Deeds

• Mortgages

• Liens

• Surveys

• Plats

• Land contracts

• Condominium documents

• Other real-estate records

For professional preparation orders, we may attempt to locate the prior recorded deed as part of our property research.

St. Clair County Online Deed Search

St. Clair County currently provides online land-record access from:

1984 to Present

through the Register of Deeds.

The county currently states that:

• Land records from 1984 to present can be viewed online

• Copies are available for $1 per page

• Web accounts are available for broader online access

This can be particularly useful when a Port Huron property owner no longer has a copy of the current deed.

Why the Previous Recorded Deed Matters

A new deed should not be prepared by simply guessing at existing property information.

The prior recorded deed may contain:

• Exact current owner names

• Existing ownership wording

• Legal description

• Parcel references

• Recording information

• Lot numbers

• Subdivision information

• Plat references

• Prior conveyance details

Our professional preparation service can include research of available public records in an effort to locate and cross-reference this information.

Your Port Huron Street Address Is Not the Legal Description

A street address identifies where a property is physically located.

It generally does not replace the complete legal description appearing in recorded land records.

A legal description may contain:

• Lot numbers

• Block numbers

• Subdivision names

• Plat references

• Section information

• Township and range references

• Metes-and-bounds descriptions

• Other formal property-description language

The City of Port Huron Assessor maintains legal descriptions, while St. Clair County provides county parcel and deed-record resources.

For professional preparation orders, we may research:

Port Huron Assessor Records + St. Clair County Parcel Records + GIS + Register of Deeds Records + Prior Deed

in an effort to identify the existing legal description.

What Is a Michigan Quitclaim Deed?

A Michigan Quitclaim Deed generally transfers whatever ownership interest the grantor currently possesses in real property to another person or entity.

The person transferring the property interest is generally called the:

Grantor

The person receiving the ownership interest is generally called the:

Grantee

A Quitclaim Deed generally does not provide the same warranties concerning title that may accompany certain other types of deeds.

Because choosing a deed can affect important legal rights, we cannot determine which type of deed you should use.

If you have already decided that a Quitclaim Deed is the document you want, however, we can prepare it according to your instructions.

Common Port Huron Quitclaim Deed Transactions

Customers may request deed preparation for situations involving:

Family Property Transfers

Property interests may be transferred between:

• Spouses

• Parents and children

• Siblings

• Other relatives

Adding Someone to a Deed

A current property owner may already have decided to convey an ownership interest to another person.

Divorce-Related Property Transfers

A deed may be needed to complete an agreed-upon or court-directed transfer between former spouses.

Transfers Between Co-Owners

One current owner may transfer an ownership interest to another owner.

Estate-Planning Transactions

A customer may have received instructions from an attorney or estate-planning professional to complete a particular property transfer.

Trust, LLC, or Business Transfers

Customers may request deed preparation after independently deciding that property should be transferred to or from a:

• Trust

• LLC

• Corporation

• Other entity

These are examples only.

We do not determine whether a particular property transfer is legally, financially, or tax-wise appropriate.

Government Recording Fees Are Separate

Our service pricing is:

$9.99 — Editable Michigan Quitclaim Deed

$225 — Professional Preparation + Property Research

$400 — White Glove Preparation + Research + Execution Assistance

Government recording fees, transfer taxes, copies, certifications, tax certificates, and other third-party expenses are separate unless expressly included in your individual order.

St. Clair County Recording Requirements

St. Clair County publishes specific requirements for documents submitted for recording.

Current county requirements include:

2½-Inch Top Margin on the First Page

½-Inch Margins on Remaining Sides and Pages

The county also requires:

• Original signatures

• Typed, stamped, or printed names beneath written signatures

• Consistency between printed names, signatures, and acknowledgments

Our professionally prepared deeds are formatted with applicable Michigan and St. Clair County recording requirements in mind.

Final acceptance for recording remains subject to review by the St. Clair County Register of Deeds.

St. Clair County Copy Fees

St. Clair County currently states that copies of recorded land documents are available for:

$1 Per Page

Copies of prior deeds may be particularly useful when researching:

• Current owner names

• Existing legal description

• Recording information

• Previous conveyance language

St. Clair County Index Books

The St. Clair County Register of Deeds also provides public access to historical:

Index Books

as part of its land-record resources.

The county notes that its online information is provided as a public service and should not be treated as a county certification of authenticity.

That is another reason we distinguish document-preparation research from a formal title examination.

St. Clair County Transfer-Tax Exemptions

St. Clair County publishes information concerning:

Michigan State Transfer Tax Exemptions

through its Register of Deeds.

Some property transfers may qualify for exemptions depending upon the facts and applicable law.

Important

We cannot determine:

• Whether your transaction is taxable

• Whether an exemption applies

• Which exemption should be claimed

• Your tax consequences

• How a transfer should be structured

If you need advice regarding transfer taxes or exemptions, consult a licensed Michigan attorney, CPA, or other qualified tax professional.

Michigan Property Transfer Affidavit

A Michigan real-estate transfer may also involve a:

Property Transfer Affidavit

which is separate from the Quitclaim Deed itself.

The City of Port Huron Assessor currently provides the Michigan Property Transfer Affidavit among its official property forms.

A property transfer may also have consequences involving:

• Property-tax uncapping

• Principal Residence Exemption

• Transfer taxes

• Mortgage obligations

• Gift taxes

• Capital gains

• Estate planning

• Probate

• Medicaid planning

• Other legal or financial matters

We cannot provide legal or tax advice concerning those consequences.

Why Choose Professional Preparation Instead of Just the $9.99 Form?

Some customers already have every property detail and are comfortable preparing the deed themselves.

That’s why we offer the $9.99 DIY option.

Professional preparation may make more sense if you don’t want to spend your own time:

• Finding the previous deed

• Searching Port Huron assessment records

• Locating the parcel number

• Researching the legal description

• Using St. Clair County parcel search

• Reviewing GIS maps

• Searching Register of Deeds records

• Reviewing county recording requirements

• Formatting the deed

• Coordinating notarization

With our $225 and $400 options:

We Do Much of the Research for You.

Property Research Is Not a Formal Title Search

Our professional preparation services can include substantial public-record research.

However, document-preparation research should not be confused with formal title work.

When we research:

Port Huron Assessor Records + St. Clair County Parcel Search + GIS + Register of Deeds Records + Prior Deeds

we are gathering available information for the purpose of preparing the document requested by the customer.

Our Property Research Does Not:

• Certify ownership

• Guarantee clear title

• Guarantee marketable title

• Issue title insurance

• Provide an attorney title opinion

• Certify lien status

• Determine whether another person has an ownership claim

• Determine whether a mortgage permits a transfer

• Perform a legal boundary survey

If you need formal title research, title insurance, lien analysis, or a legal opinion concerning property ownership, contact a licensed Michigan attorney or title company.

Michigan Property Transfers May Involve Additional Paperwork

A Quitclaim Deed may not be the only paperwork associated with a Michigan property transfer.

Depending upon the circumstances, there may also be considerations involving:

• Michigan Property Transfer Affidavit

• Tax certification

• Real-estate transfer taxes

• Transfer-tax exemptions

• Property-tax uncapping

• Principal Residence Exemption

• Mortgage obligations

• Gift-tax considerations

• Capital gains

• Estate planning

• Probate

• Medicaid planning

We cannot provide legal or tax advice concerning these matters.

If you are uncertain how a transfer may affect you, consult a licensed Michigan attorney, CPA, tax professional, assessor, or other qualified professional.

We are a non-attorney document preparation and notary staffing agency. We are not a law firm, and we do not provide legal advice, legal representation, title opinions, or other legal opinions concerning real-estate transactions.

We cannot tell you what your legal rights or remedies are, whether you should transfer real estate, which type of deed you should use, who should be added to or removed from ownership, how title should be held, or what effect a property transfer may have on taxes, mortgages, creditors, divorce, probate, Medicaid, trusts, estate planning, transfer taxes, or other legal or financial matters.

Documents are prepared with applicable Michigan and local recording requirements in mind. Final acceptance for recording remains subject to the requirements and review of the St. Clair County Register of Deeds or other applicable governmental authority.
