E-Recording

 

     E-recording is the process of submitting documents for recording online, no paper copies of documents will be used. The County Clerk’s staff will review, record, and return the document electronically as well. This process reduces the turnaround time, reduces the time for handling rejected documents, and eliminates uncertainty caused by delays in the mail. This service is available through four separate vendors:

• Simplifile
• ePn
  
• CSC
• Indecomm Mortgage Services

 

Follow the links to any of the above providers to create an account and begin e-recording with Logan County.
