Simplifile has expanded its eRecording network with the addition of 23 county recording offices across the South and Midwest. The new counties are in Georgia, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Texas and Virginia.
“Recording offices all over the nation are embracing eRecording as a means of increasing productivity, speeding up turnaround times and reducing costs,” Simplifile President Paul Clifford said in a news release. “Much of the progress we’ve made in growing our eRecording network in the South and Midwest can be attributed to the success stories shared by early adopters in these regions. We expect to see many more counties in these areas join their peers before the year is out.”
Newly added counties include: Banks County, Ga.; Catoosa County, Ga.; Dade County, Ga.; Washington County, Ga.; Cass County, Ind.; Martin County, Ind.; Parke County, Ind.; Cloud County, Kan.; Norton County, Kan.; Republic County, Kan.; Alpena County, Mich.; Crawford County, Mo.; Mercer County, Mo.; Morgan County, Mo.; Sullivan County, Mo.; Macon County, N.C.; Madison County, N.C.; Montgomery County, N.C.; Perquimans County, N.C.; Dunn County, N.D.; Greene County, Ohio; Comal County, Texas; James City County (Williamsburg), Va.
Settlement service providers in these jurisdictions can now submit scanned documents directly to the county recording office using Simplifile’s secure, web-based eRecording service. The county recorder can review, stamp, record, and return the documents to the settlement service provider electronically — all within minutes. Recording fees and associated payments also can be processed securely, reducing payment errors and eliminating costs associated with check-based payments.
