UCC is an acronym for the words Uniform Commercial Code. UCC filings are notices of financing statements.
When filing at the county level be sure to remember the following:
- Full legal description of the property where the fixture is located. The mailing address of the property cannot be used in place of the legal description.
- The "Prepared By" legend is also required on the UCC. This statement will need to read Prepared By: followed by the name, address and phone number of the person that completed the document.
- Be sure to complete the UCC form completely, to avoid it having to be returned.
- The fees for filing a UCC can be found at this Link. UCC fees and real estate fees are required in order to record the document.
