Title processing for Chattanooga and Hamilton County offices

Hamilton County publishes a detailed document requirement guide. We build those checks into every package we prepare, so files go to the register ready to record.

We are not a lender, mortgage broker or loan servicer. We don't issue title insurance or give legal advice. Licensed signatures, notarizing and closings stay with you.

Hamilton County Register of Deeds notes

  • E-recording through Simplifile and CSC. The Register lists both, and notes that it doesn't support or endorse either vendor.
  • A published checklist. The Register's Document Requirement Guide asks for original signatures and seals, a three-inch margin at the top right of the first page for the stamp, a “prepared by” name and address, a notary acknowledgment for each signature, and pages in order with exhibits after the legal description.
  • Electronic certification. E-recorded documents need the certification signed by a licensed attorney or the custodian of the original and acknowledged by a notary, in at least 10-point type.
  • Fee schedule. The county's published schedule lists $12.00 for most documents up to two pages and $5.00 for each additional page. We check the current schedule on each file.
  • Online records. Online database access requires an application and a $50 monthly fee, so we'll use your existing access where you have it.

Around Chattanooga

As of October 2026, CSC listed Bradley County in its e-recording network but not Marion County. Property on the Georgia side of the metro is outside what we do; we work on Tennessee files only.
