Over the past few years, the office has undergone a complete metamorphosis. We have introduced a number of significant technological enhancements that have upgraded and improved document quality and have tremendously improved the level of customer service.
Each day we celebrate the customer and make it our priority to provide excellent service by always putting the customer first. With an average of 532 walk-in customers daily, the award-winning
Q-Matic queue management system has ensured that each customer receives prompt, efficient and orderly customer service.
Our greatest accomplishment to date is the implementation of electronic recording of documents. Additional improvements include upgrading the automated telephone system that services our nearly 80,000 phone calls, annually. Also, digitizing the thousands of rolls of microfilm in our office has proved to be a significant time saver for the hundreds of customers that frequent the Recorder's Office.
By working closely with the County Assessor, the computers in the public access area of our shared lobby now provide the ability for the public to access the records stored in both the Recorder as well as the Assessor’s databases.
The Recorder’s Office has updated its redaction software to ensure the privacy and security of our customers by protecting their personal information.
All of these innovations are designed with you, the customer, in mind. Even this web site has been revamped so that the customer may easily access information from our office via the internet.
I encourage you to visit the Recorder’s Office to see first-hand the changes that have been implemented for the purpose of creating a smoother and more efficient operation.
Sincerely,
Debbie Conway
