The collector has 60 days from the day of taking to record the Instrument of Taking.

The key idea is that there is a fixed deadline to place the taking on public record after it occurs. The Instrument of Taking must be recorded within 60 days starting from the day the taking happens. This creates a clear, finite window to ensure timely notice and validity of the taking, binding it against others and preventing endless delays. The other timeframes don’t fit because 30 days is too short, 60 days from the recording would shift the deadline to when you file it (not when the taking occurs), and 90 days is longer than the required limit.
