287.10 PREPAYMENT OF TAX; EVIDENCE; NOTICE.
A mortgage, or documents relating to its foreclosure, assignment, or satisfaction, must not
be recorded unless the tax has been paid. Except as provided in section
582.25, a document or
any record of the mortgage may not be received in evidence in any court, and is not valid notice,
unless the tax has been paid. If the tax is paid, an error in computation or ascertainment of the
amount does not affect the validity of the mortgage or the record or foreclosure. This section does
not apply to a mortgage that is exempt from the tax imposed under section
287.035.
