Register reports $98,376.50 in Q1 filings; e‑recording vendor MOUs underway
Summary
The county register (records official) reported $98,376.50 collected in filing and copy fees for January–March 2026, 965 documents processed in Q1, and said e‑recording work with multiple vendors is underway with MOUs being completed.
A county register/records official (Speaker 6) presented first‑quarter filing statistics and an update on e‑recording implementation.
For January through March 2026 the register reported total collections of $98,376.50 across filing fees, copy money and other technology funds, with $77,848.50 of that amount going to the county general fund. The office processed 965 documents in the quarter, including 308 deeds, 223 mortgages, 224 mortgage releases and 9 surveys; sales‑validation questionnaires (SPQs) numbered 166 for the period.
The register said collections compared variably to last year and to the prior quarter—some categories were up and some down—and that the office continues to use spreadsheets to compare activity year‑over‑year. The register reported outreach to multiple e‑recording vendors and said two MOUs were signed, banking information had been exchanged for deposits, and one additional vendor (EPN) was under review after a recommendation from a vendor contact (Stacy Myers at Harris Reporting Solutions). The transcript shows the office is still working through technical connections (remote access changes) and template setup before full rollout.
No additional policy decisions were recorded; the register offered to answer commissioner questions and to provide more detailed breakdowns on request.
