Online AccessThe Cost of Traditional Recording
Courier and walk-in recording create bottlenecks that ripple through the entire closing process. Typical challenges include:
- 3-10 business days from submission to recorded return
- A meaningful share of submissions rejected for fixable errors - margins, fees, signatures
- Manual tracking via phone calls or county websites
- Lost documents during physical hand-offs
- Courier fees added to every package
- Staff time spent preparing packages, calculating fees, and following up
The downstream impact: purchase transactions miss contractual closing deadlines, refinance funding is delayed waiting on recorded documents, customers grow frustrated with extended timelines, staff work overtime chasing recording status, and cash flow sits tied up in uncleared files. Every manual touchpoint also adds error risk - incorrect fees from outdated county schedules, margin violations from improper formatting, missed signatures or notary acknowledgments, the wrong county selected for submission, and misfiled returns landing in the wrong Operating System order.

County Coverage & Document Types

Turnaround varies by county processing capacity, submission time, and document complexity - most counties return same-day or next-business-day, with a smaller share taking a few additional days. Recording Express displays the estimated turnaround for each county before submission.
Integrated Payment & Fee Reporting
Recording Express handles county recording fees through multiple payment methods, eliminating manual check writing and accounting reconciliation.
- ACH direct debit from escrow accounts
- Pre-funded county deposit accounts
- Credit card processing where counties accept it
- Automated fee reconciliation
- Export recording fees by file, date range, or county
