Get your taxes done using TurboTax
The deed needs to be publicly, recorded wherever deeds are recorded in your area, usually the county clerks office. This creates a public record of the transaction so that, for example, if a buyer asks for a survey, when the surveyor goes to pull the property records, they will find the deed and be able to survey the new boundaries. It is the buyer‘s responsibility to record the deed with the county and you probably don’t even have the right paperwork to do it yourself. You could certainly go and double check.
any locality that assesses property taxes on you may or may not get an updated record from the county, clerks office, and selling off the small strip of land may or may not change your property tax bill. You can certainly contact any assessor and inform them of the change to your property.
