Duties & Responsibilities of the Sandusky
County Recorder:
The practice of recording real estate
documents is based on law in England, which traveled to the New World with
the Colonists. Public land registrars were appointed in Colonial America to
keep accurate records. A system of registration was necessary to the first
three officials designated for County Government under the Northwest
Territory's ordinance for Congressional lands in 1795. The first official
Deed in Sandusky County was recorded on May 16, 1822.
The Recorder's responsibilities include
permanent retention of all documents relating to real estate within the
county. An important aspect of the Recorder's work is to index each document
so it may be readily located. Accurate indexing makes it possible for
persons searching land records to find the documents necessary to establish
a history of ownership and ensures that any debts or encumbrances against
the property are evident.
