Register of Deeds reports 13% jump in transfer volume, flags spreadsheet discrepancy
Summary
During the Register of Deeds budget review, DeGraaf reported a roughly 13% increase in real‑estate transfer volume year over year — about $110 million — and noted a possible Unfunded Retirement spreadsheet discrepancy affecting department entries.
During the Register of Deeds review the board heard that real‑estate transfer volume rose about 13% compared with the previous year, an increase described at roughly $110 million in transaction value. In the same segment, DeGraaf identified a potential discrepancy in the Unfunded Retirement spreadsheet entries and asked staff to clarify figures that may have been filled in incorrectly for department heads.
Commissioners said they would follow up to ensure spreadsheet corrections and verify how transfer revenue and re‑monumentation costs are reflected in the final Recommended budget. No formal action was taken at the workshop; staff will provide corrected numbers and supporting documentation to the board.
