the property at the top left corner of the first page of the document, if the county

whom a statement of the taxes assessed on the real property is to be mailed. 4. The assessor's parcel number shall not be deemed to be a complete legal description
of the real property conveyed. 5. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 6, if a document that is being recorded
includes a legal description of real property that is provided in metes and bounds,
the document must include the name and mailing address of the person who prepared
the legal description. The county recorder is not required to verify the accuracy of the name and mailing
address of such a person. 6. If a document including the same legal description described in subsection 5 previously
has been recorded, the document must include all information necessary to identify
and locate the previous recording, but the name and mailing address of the person
who prepared the legal description is not required for the document to be recorded. The county recorder is not required to verify the accuracy of the information concerning
