The Person County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a resolution on June 6 appointing review officers to certify recorded deeds meet statutory requirements under North Carolina law.

Michelle Solomon presented the resolution and told the board North Carolina General Statute 47-30.2 requires each county board of commissioners to appoint a person or persons to serve as a review officer to examine and certify deeds before recording. Solomon said personnel changes since the board’s last resolution in October 2024 required an updated resolution.

The board moved to adopt the resolution, the chair called for the ayes, and the motion passed without opposition.
