What’s in it

This bill requires the county recorder to implement and administer a system for notifying a person when any instrument is recorded if the person is a named party to the instrument. A person may choose to participate in the system by submitting a form to the recorder. The form shall indicate the property for which the person wishes to receive notice and the means by which the notice should be sent by the recorder. The notice shall be provided within one business day by electronic mail, text message, or other similar means. The recorder shall not be responsible for attempting any other means of contacting the person other than through a method included in the form. The provisions of the bill must be implemented by January 1, 2025.
