E-recording
The Office of County Clerk has been responsible for maintaining a record of real property transfers in the county since 1794. Over the years, the types of records have evolved, as has the method for recording these documents. Today, with the use of imaging technology and a modern electronic land records management system, the Sussex County Clerk’s office is able to offer its customers Level II e-recording.
E-recording will improve the recording process from the point of origin (title company, bank, attorney office, etc.) to the County Clerk’s Office. It will improve work flow, increase productivity, speed up the recording process, and reduce rejections (specifically, rejections due to incorrect fees, missing party names or signatures, missing tax lot & block information, missing marginal notations, etc. will be eliminated because the information is required prior to submission of the documents for recording).
- Deeds* & Mortgages
- Notices of Settlement
- UCCs
- Tax Liens & Tax Sale Certificates
