Statute text

Instead of those indices indicated in this division, the recorder may utilize either of the following systems of indexing:

(a)The recorder may keep two indices, labeled respectively: “General index of grantors” (names of grantors, defendants, and first parties, who would otherwise be indexed in any of the other indices specified in this article) and “General index of grantees” (names of grantees, plaintiffs, and second parties, who would otherwise be indexed in any of the other indices specified in this article). Each page of the general index of grantors shall be divided into seven columns, labeled respectively: “Date filed,” “Grantors and defendants,” “Grantees and plaintiffs,” “Title,” “Document number,” “Book,” and “Page.” Each page of the general index of grantees shall be divided into seven columns, labeled respectively: “Date filed,” “Grantees and plaintiffs,” “Grantors and defendants,” “Title,” “Document number,” “Book,” and “Page”; or

(b)The recorder may combine the general index of grantors and the general index of grantees into a single index which shall alphabetically combine the grantors and grantees as defined in subdivision (a). Each page of the “General grantor-grantee index” shall be divided into seven columns, labeled respectively: “Date filed,” “Grantors-grantees,” “Grantees-grantors,” “Title,” “Document number,” “Book,” and “Page.” Where such a combined index is used, the names of the grantors shall be distinguished from the names of the grantees, as respectively defined in subdivision (a), by an easily recognizable mark or symbol.
