     (1) Subject to Subsection (2), each paper, notice, and instrument required by law to be filed in the office of the county recorder shall be recorded unless otherwise provided.

     (b) If a county recorder requires the applicable tax serial number to be on an instrument before it may be recorded:
     (i) the county recorder shall post a notice of that requirement in a conspicuous place at the recorder's office;
     (ii) the tax serial number may not be considered to be part of the legal description and may be indicated on the margin of the instrument; and
     (iii) an error in the tax serial number does not affect the validity of the instrument or effectiveness of the recording.
