THE OHIO RECORDERS' ASSOCIATION
was founded in 1927 and remains a vital organization to the present day. Membership is
made up of Ohio's eighty-eight County Recorders and their deputy recorders.
The objective of the Ohio Recorders' Association is to educate its members so that
Recorders and their employees may better serve the citizens of their counties. To this
end, the association sponsors continuing education seminars on topics such as current
legislation, office procedures, personnel management and constituent issues.
The association encourages the development of legislation to enhance the work and
efficiency of Recorders' offices and to respond to modern technological changes.
Association meetings provide the opportunity for Recorders to exchange ideas, review
statewide recording procedures, and promote legislation in the best interest of the
citizens of Ohio.
The COUNTY RECORDERS of Ohio process numerous documents pertaining to land transactions
every year. Recorders' offices throughout the state recorded approximately 568,000 deeds
and 884,000 mortgages in 1994 and collected approximately $44,000,000 in fees which were
paid into the general funds of the counties that year
