Simplifile announced Bourbon County, Kan., as its 1,000th U.S. county to adopt e-recording service, making Simplifile the first e-recording provider in the nation to grow its network to 1,000 recording jurisdictions.
“We’re honored to celebrate this landmark achievement with Bourbon County as our 1,000th e-recording county,” said Paul Clifford, president of Simplifile. “There is no question that e-recording saves time and money for both the county and its customers, which is why it has quickly become the preferred method for recording nationwide.”
To celebrate, the company teamed up with the Arbor Day Foundation to plant 1,000 trees in the nation’s forests.
“These trees will help provide cleaner air and cleaner water, habitat for wildlife and beauty for all to enjoy,” said Dan Lambe, vice president of programs and corporate partnerships of the Arbor Day Foundation. “By helping us to plant trees, Simplifile is demonstrating a commitment to environmental stewardship that will benefit our current generation and future generations to come.
Last year, Simplifile added more than 200 e-recording jurisdictions to its e-recording network and now covers nearly one third of the nation’s recording jurisdictions. With the addition of New York City and its surround boroughs, the Simplifile also provides more population coverage than any other vendor with its service available to over 62 percent of the total U.S. population.
Simplifile also helped Delaware and Connecticut open their doors to e-recording in 2013, making Simplifile’s service available in 42 states. Alaska became the fourth state in the nation to fully implement electronic recording. Simplifile is also the first and only e-recording service provider in all 34 of Alaska’s recording districts.
This year, Simplifile also expanded to Lexington County, South Carolina.
