Recorder signs Common Chain agreement to index historical records; no cost to county
Summary
The Recorder presented Agreement #26-13 with Common Chain LLC to index historical title and record images and provide cloud‑based backups; the County will incur no costs and the agreement was approved.
Recorder Chad Montgomery explained a proposed Agreement #26-13 with Common Chain LLC, a vendor that offers cloud indexing and backup of recorded documents and searchable title data. Montgomery said the company indexes historical records and provides access via title-search services at no cost to the county; "With Common Chain LLC there is no cost to the county as it is done through the title searches provided," he told the Commission. The Commission approved the agreement by roll call vote.
Why it matters: The agreement aims to provide redundancy and searchable access to historical public records without direct county expense. The county will receive OCR and machine‑indexed data produced from county-provided images and retain public‑records access in the Recorder's office.
