Geary County registered‑leads office reports $356,976 in 2024 collections; commission approves change orders
Summary
Jackie Reisinger, of the county's registered‑leads office, presented fourth‑quarter and annual revenue and document counts, reporting $356,976.25 collected in 2024 and $279,548.25 routed to the general fund. Separately, commissioners approved a motion to accept change orders by voice vote.
Jackie Reisinger, registered leads for Geary County, presented the office’s fourth‑quarter and annual financial and recording totals during a county commission meeting. She said the office collected $101,758.50 in the fourth quarter and $356,976.25 for the full year 2024, and that $279,548.25 of the annual total was allocated to the county general fund.
Reisinger provided a quarterly breakdown: file fees of $75,008.80, copy fees of $3,198.50, the registered‑leads technology fund receipts of $11,378.00, clerk and treasurer technology funds of $2,844.50 each, and a Heritage Trust Fund contribution of $5,689.00, which together she said totaled $101,758.50 for the fourth quarter. She said the amount remitted to the general fund for that quarter was $79,002.50.
For the calendar year 2024, Reisinger said the office collected $259,048.00 in file fees; $20,500.25 in copy fees (including online public access receipts); $38,714.00 for the registered‑leads technology fund; $9,678.50 each for the clerk and treasurer technology funds; and $19,357.00 for the Heritage Trust Fund, producing the reported $356,976.25 total.
Reisinger also reported document activity, saying the office recorded 958 documents in the fourth quarter. She gave item counts she said included 266 mortgages, 246 mortgage releases, 23 mortgage assignments, two plats and 10 surveys, with 285 days of recording activity and 189 instances of canceled validation questionnaires labeled as invalid sales for the quarter.
Commission members asked that materials provided for the meeting be submitted to the clerk in time to be included in the packet; Reisinger said she would follow the new packet deadline and can upload materials to the county website if needed. Reisinger described using the technology fund to pay for server costs, contracts with vendors and equipment so the general fund does not carry those expenses.
Separately during the meeting, a commissioner moved — the motion was self‑moved on the record — to accept change orders. The commission conducted a voice vote. Chair and commissioners responded “Aye,” and the clerk announced the motion carried.
The presentation showcased the register office’s year‑end financial contribution to county operations and the commission’s routine approval of change orders. Reisinger closed by noting the office’s role in supporting county services through its technology and fee receipts.
