This resolution recommends that the County Recorder of Deeds no longer be an elected office, thereby streamlining the administration of these functions, reducing government costs, saving taxpayer dollars and improving the efficiency of state and county government. This resolution would establish a working group of all affected constituencies to develop the legislation necessary to allow for the creation of a single statewide recordation system in coordination with the Department of State. The working group would be required to develop recommendations that are “revenue neutral” for the counties.

Recommending That The County Recorder Of Deeds No Longer Be An Elected Office And That A Working Group Be Established To Develop Recommendations For Creating A Single Statewide Recordation System, Thereby Making State And County Government More Effective And Efficient.
