Montgomery County has launched a new online e-filing system for property deeds and transfer documents. County leaders say the system will help expedite processes and enhance the security of property transfers for homeowners.
Montgomery County Auditor Karl Keith and Montgomery County Recorder Lori Kennedy announced that deeds and other property transfer documents can now be filed electronically. The recorder’s office processed 72,000 documents last year, and this new e-filing system aims to improve efficiency and reduce the risk of deed fraud.
