In addition to such other matters as may be desired, not inconsistent with this chapter or the declaration, a unit deed shall contain the following:

(1) The name of the condominium property as set forth in the declaration.

(2) The name of the county or counties in which the condominium property is located.

(3) The distinctive unit identification required by subsection (a) of this section, together with a reference to the recording office and the book and page where the declaration and bylaws and amendments thereto are recorded.
