E-recording vs paper

Why some counties take longer

Most metro recorders in our coverage support e-recording (Simplifile, CSC, ePN). Affidavits filed electronically are recorded same business day with BK / PG returned within hours. Some rural counties only accept paper submissions — we file in person or by mail, and recorded copies return 1–3 business days later. This is the most common variable extending the 10-BD standard track.

Start an order. Recorded in 10 business days.

Drop the property address, target close date, and title commitment. Acknowledgment within an hour. Written quote same business day.
