Sangamon County made eRecording history in Illinois by processing the first eRecorded deed with an electronic PTAX form. Bank of Springfield used ePN (eRecording Partners Network) to submit the first deed with a PTAX form.
“Sangamon County is excited to be the first county in the state of Illinois to electronically record a deed and PTAX,” Sangamon County Recorder Josh Langfelder said. “This giant step in recording documents could not have been possible without the efforts of the IACCR, Fidlar Technologies, ePN and the Illinois Department of Revenue. Fidlar and ePN worked very closely with the Sangamon County Recorder’s office to make sure eRecording of a deed and PTAX would be an easy process.”
Meghen Filter of the Bank of Springfield said, “Bank of Springfield is excited to be the first in the State of Illinois to eRecord Deeds and PTAX forms. ePN and the Sangamon County Recorder’s Office have both made the process quick and painless.”
“We’re excited to play a key role in this significant event and we are looking forward to working with other counties in the state as they begin accepting electronic deeds,” ePN President Jerry Lewallen said.
In May 2014, Illinois passed legislation that allowed counties to process electronic tax stamps.
