*We will return to “highest and best” use later

41 Real Estate Law for Planners / May 9, 2017
Why Record?
• County registries exist for one purpose: NOTICE
• Recording system was established to provide notice to subsequent owners and interest holders of a party’s interest in land
• Provides record evidence of conveyances, government action, etc.
![Page 42: Real Estate Law for Planners - Robinson+Cole · 2017-05-22 · Real Estate Law for Planners / May 9, 2017 26 Covenants and Servitudes • Relationship to public policy –Covenant](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062602/5e9684fff0a4db43a3642f51/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
42 Real Estate Law for Planners / May 9, 2017
Effect of Recording
• Recording an instrument provides constructive notice of interests in property to subsequent interest holders
• Recording—in and of itself—does NOT accomplish a conveyance, rezoning, subdivision, etc.
– Although some local code provisions may require recording for the process to be complete
