CODE OF VIRGINIA

RECORDATION OF FEDERAL FARM LOAN MORTGAGES (§ 17.1-235)

The clerks of the circuit courts shall keep a separate book, which shall be
known as the federal farm loan mortgage book, in which shall be recorded
mortgages executed to secure the payment of loans made by federal land banks
under authority of the act of Congress, approved July 17, 1916, known as the
Federal Farm Loan Act, which mortgages, when so recorded in such book shall be
indexed in the proper general index book, as well as in the index to such farm
loan mortgage book; provided that any such clerk instead of providing such
separate book may immediately spread upon the book in which deeds are recorded
in his office any and all proper mortgages or deeds of trust executed to secure
such loans and all of such mortgages and deeds of trust shall be immediately
spread upon such records when received, so that the original thereof may be
returned to the federal land bank as soon as possible.
