Statutes covering Assignments of Rents/Leases See KRS 286.5.441
OAG 80-3 indicates this document may be filed in the deed, mortgage or miscellaneous book. It is left to the discretion of the clerk. However, the OAG recommends the Mortgage book.
*The legal process fee of $4.00 is included in this document due to the wording in OAG 80-3. "The instrument involved here is a unique creature unto itself, but it contains the characteristics of both a deed and a mortgage. It is a straightforward transfer of an interest in realty for a term and thus is like a deed. Yet it also stands as a security for an obligation..." Both deed and mortgage require a legal process fee.
