The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.

1. “"RCW 40.16.030 encompass[es] a document which is required or permitted by statute or valid regulation to be filed, registered, or recorded in a public office if (1) the claimed falsity relates to a material fact represented in the instrument; and (2a) the information contained in the document is of such a nature that the government is required or permitted by law, statute or valid regulation to act in reliance thereon; or (2b) the information contained in the document materially affects significant rights or duties of third persons, when this effect is reasonably contemplated by the express or implied intent of the statute or valid regulation which requires the filing, registration, or recording of the document."”

2. “[Gen.Stat.] § 1439 requires deeds and mortgages to be recorded, and makes the record constructive notice. Among the duties of the auditor, it is prescribed that he shall record "deeds, grants, transfers, and mortgages of real estate, releases of mortgages, etc.," and "such other writings as are required or permitted by law to be recorded." Id. [§ ] 199. And this is all there is upon the subject. The auditor is, by Id. § 200, required to index "every instrument concerning or affecting real estate," but that, of course, means every instrument which he is legally authorized or required to record.”

Backfilling shall not occur until the sewage system has been inspected and approved.”
