Document Updates: Certain Connecticut Instruments, Assignments, and Cx1842 Tax Bill Authorization

We are making minor updates to certain Connecticut instruments and assignments. The FNMA model forms in the Transfer of Rights section provide space to identify the type of recording jurisdiction and the name of the recording jurisdiction.

The instruments and assignments being updated generally follow the model forms but have slight differences. The main difference is that our documents include an additional field for county/planning region. However, because Connecticut recording jurisdictions are organized at the city or town level, including the county/planning region is unnecessary.

We are updating the instruments and assignments to more closely follow the FNMA model forms by identifying the type of recording jurisdiction (dt_RecordingJurisdiction/@v) and the name of the recording jurisdiction (dt_PropertyRecordingJurisdictionName/@v). If dt_PropertyRecordingJurisdictionName/@v is empty, we will use dt_PropertyCounty/@v.

The affected instruments and assignments are:

Cx473 (CT Mortgage Second)
Cx4454 (CT Assignment – INV BLANK)
Cx1519 (CT Assignment of Mortgage)
Cx4312 (CT Assignment from MERS)

Similarly, we are updating Cx1842 by removing the fields for county and city/town and replacing them with only the type of recording jurisdiction and the name of the recording jurisdiction.

These changes are available for testing on Stage & Stage 2 servers and will take effect on June 18, 2026. If you have any questions or concerns about these changes, please contact Client Support at 1.800.497.3584.
