This is the first leg of a constitutional amendment to provide for the development of a statewide and integrated recordation system. At the present time, the three counties operate three separate offices that handle the functions of the Recorder of Deeds. Each operates using its own requirements and procedures, each provides services only in its respective county, and each is managed by a different elected official. This proposed constitutional amendment will enable the General Assembly to create by statute a more cost-effective and efficient statewide system for recordation. The proposed amendment removes the constitutional provisions requiring that the Recorder of Deeds be an elected office.

An Act Proposing An Amendment To Article Iii And The Schedule Of The Delaware Constitution Of 1897, As Amended, Relating To The Recorder Of Deeds.
