- Restrictive Covenant Modifications
If you have verified that a document recorded with the county auditor in the chain of title to your property contains a racially restrictive covenant and you have decided to record a modification document, here are the steps to follow.
STEP ONE:
Obtain the following necessary information about your property from your deed or your title insurance policy.
STEP TWO:
Fill in the attached "Restrictive Covenant Modification Document" with the information above but do not sign it. These forms can also be found online on the websites of many county auditors in Washington State.
STEP THREE:
Take the document and government-issued identification to a licensed notary public and sign in the presence of the notary. There may be a charge to have the document notarized.
STEP FOUR:
Take the document to your county auditor for recording. (A list of county auditor offices can be found online at: https://www.sos.wa.gov/elections/auditors/# ). You can bring the document in person or mail it to the county auditor in the county in which the property is located. There is no charge to record the document.
