It\u2019s the office of the county deed recorder (some counties call it the Register and Recorders Office), where vital records are filed. Title transfers and home loans can\u2019t happen without the Register of Deeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Have you ever thought about becoming a recorder of deeds?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Campaign Is an Adventure\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u2026And running as a Register of Deeds candidate is no exception. If you\u2019re throwing your hat in this ring, you\u2019ll likely thrive on debates, conversations, and interviews. You\u2019ll be keen to accept complex projects, and good at facilitating the creation of workable systems. You\u2019ll get satisfaction from engaging the city or county you serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perhaps your state has an association of deed recorders\u2019 offices, and you\u2019d like your county to play a more active role. Perhaps you have experience working in real estate, or for a township or county, and want to bring your skills into the deed recording sphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What skills will you need? It\u2019s helpful to have experience and interest in computer technology, communications, office management, and public relations. Research skills are important, as the work involves looking up information on film and computer systems daily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are passionate about fostering a real human connection with the public rather than an off-putting bureaucracy, and if you feel good about educating others and constantly learning, you might be the right person for the office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How a Candidate Gets Into the Race<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A candidate typically creates a social media presence and a website displaying endorsements of locally influential people. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/ramonforregister.com\/supporters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a> is the Milwaukee County Register of Deeds (now incumbent) who received the mayor\u2019s endorsement, as well as the support of numerous other Registers of Deeds, community groups, and political figures. (At first, this official was appointed, not elected. In 2019, Wisconsin\u2019s governor selected Israel Ram\u00f3n as the Register of Deeds, after the Office was raided by the FBI for alleged <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jsonline.com\/story\/news\/local\/milwaukee\/2022\/02\/11\/former-milwaukee-county-register-deeds-john-la-fave-serve-probation\/6724008001\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">wire fraud<\/a> by the previous Office holder. Ram\u00f3n successfully faced a challenge in the Democratic primary for Milwaukee County\u00a0Register of Deeds\u00a0in 2020, and kept the post.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you first file your candidacy with the county clerk, there is no need to state your philosophy, goals, and ideas. The starting point is just declaring your intent to run for the office. There will usually be a fee to run, and a short form to complete. You\u2019ll state your name and address and the party you\u2019re registered with, and that you are running for the Register of Deeds office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you decide to drop out before the primary, you\u2019ll need to withdraw by a specific date. If you decide to get into the race after the primary, you may become a write-in candidate by filing an affidavit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you are running against someone who already holds the office, it will be a harder to win. Incumbents already have name recognition and have developed a network of support and collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To learn about the fees and deadlines, check your Secretary of State\u2019s website. Look for the \u201cElections\u201d webpage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Day in the Life of the Register of Deeds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Register of Deeds is responsible for safeguarding the records filed in the county today, and the records dating back through the centuries. These documents are critical to those who live and do business in the county. At some point or another, they\u2019re needed by lawyers, judges, lenders, title experts, real estate agents, appraisers, historians, genealogists, credit bureaus, county and municipal administrators, or the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Register of Deeds files records for important milestones such as births and adoptions, marriages, deaths, and house title transfers. Other real estate documents recorded in the office are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/quitclaim-deed\/\">quitclaims<\/a> and warranty deeds, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/your-real-estate-and-probate\/\">estate administrators\u2019 deeds<\/a>, leases and security agreements, easements, judgments, sheriff\u2019s deeds, liens, tax deeds, subdivision and survey documents, master deeds for condos and associations, and a variety of formal instruments related to mortgages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Register of Deeds approves subdivisions in the county, and works with other county and township officials on zoning. The Register collects fees, prepares budgets, maintains payrolls and employment records, and enforces state recording laws \u2014 which means drafting and handling a lot of reports.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Register must examine documents coming in from lenders, title companies, lawyers, and members of the public. The employees in the Office of the Register of Deeds check information and images; enter the names written on the deeds into the system; and note the amount paid for each transaction. They record the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/real-estate-legal-descriptions-for-deeds\/\">properties\u2019 legal descriptions<\/a>. They cross-reference other documents related to the transaction at hand. Each new instrument needs to be carefully scanned, recorded, and permanently stored. The documents then have to be numbered, dated, and time-stamped, with the proper filing fees and transfer taxes collected as applicable. It\u2019s the Office of the Register of Deeds that checks that the filing isn\u2019t subject to exemptions from transfer taxes, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Original paperwork has to be mailed back to the senders or appropriate recipients. When people fail to submit their documents according to the proper procedures, those people must be notified. Their documents must be returned to them for corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These are just some of the tasks carried out daily in the Office of the Register of Deeds. The staff also helps walk-in customers with their requests for forms and physical or digital documents. Staff members field questions about where customers can seek further help related to their filings. Sometimes, staff members show customers how to use data systems and how to fill in their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/forms\/\">deed forms<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Makes a Good Candidate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/what-makes-a-good-candidate.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2265\" width=\"397\" height=\"374\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/what-makes-a-good-candidate.jpg 529w, https:\/\/www.deeds.com\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/what-makes-a-good-candidate-300x282.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 397px) 100vw, 397px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Candidates may need to live in the county where they\u2019re running for office. Additionally, they should be registered to vote in the state. But they don\u2019t need to have been born in the county \u2014 or even in the United States \u2014 to run for the local Register of Deeds office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Graduation from high school is generally the basic education requirement, along with further coursework in data processing. The ability to retrieve and sort data on a computer is an essential skill for the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s helpful to have a college degree, though not necessary. An advanced degree related to business or law isn\u2019t required either, but would be especially valuable. A real estate background, title expertise, or experience in other local offices are exceptionally relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The average\u00a0<\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.glassdoor.com\/Salaries\/recorder-of-deeds-salary-SRCH_KO0,17.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>salary\u00a0for a\u00a0Recorder of Deeds<\/strong><\/a><strong>\u00a0is $52,522 a year as of May 2022, according to <em>Glassdoor.com<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For particular qualifications of a given position, check the announcements on <em>Indeed.com<\/em>, <em>GovernmentJobs.com<\/em>, or your Secretary of State\u2019s website. Your local (county or city) government\u2019s website might also announce openings with job descriptions and the qualifications candidates need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Starting a Campaign Is a Straightforward Process<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you start your candidacy, you\u2019ll be in the public eye. You may be asked everything from your views on recording the documentation for a same-sex marriage to your weekend hobbies. People will want to know your views on racial equity and technological innovation. Your general knowledge and your integrity will be tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re keen to serve the public, if you would enjoy being the custodian of your county\u2019s history, and if you a dedicated to honesty, transparency, and principled leadership, this is an excellent office to seek. The very best to you on your campaign!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Supporting References<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Christopher Borro for the<em> Scottsbluff [Nebraska] Star-Herald Online<\/em>: <a href=\"https:\/\/starherald.com\/news\/local\/govt-and-politics\/how-to-run-for-office\/article_4b85413b-89a8-56cd-b656-a148c1defa7c.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Run for Office<\/a> (Feb 5, 2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Dale Edwards for the <em>News of Orange County [North Carolina]<\/em>: Meet the Candidate \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsoforange.com\/community\/article_75d21de0-b674-11ec-beef-ebe6cb42092e.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Former Orange County Commissioner Penny Rich Is Running for Register of Deeds; Rich Wants to Elevate Register of Deeds Office<\/a> (updated Apr. 7, 2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Iosco County, Michigan: <a href=\"https:\/\/iosco.net\/departments\/register-of-deeds\/register-of-deeds-duties\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Register of Deeds Duties<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\"><em>BallotPedia<\/em>: <a href=\"https:\/\/ballotpedia.org\/Israel_Ram%C3%B3n\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Israel Ram\u00f3n, Milwaukee County Register of Deeds\u00a0in Wisconsin<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Website of Israel Ram\u00f3n: <a href=\"https:\/\/ramonforregister.com\/supporters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Supporters<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">And as linked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Photo credits: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/democracychronicles\/15000822811\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Democracy Chronicles<\/a>, via public domain; and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/elegant-diverse-female-business-partners-with-documents-talking-on-street-5669655\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sora Shimazaki<\/a>, via Pexels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Register of Deeds does essential work.
