“The Town of Tolland decided to offer eRecording as a service to our customers and as a way to streamline our office,” Tolland Town Clerk Sheila M. Bailey said in a news release. “Documents can be processed the same day electronically, eliminating the costs of postage, labor and express mail expenses. The submitters are able to keep all original documents in their possession and payments are securely deposited in the town’s account.

Today, Simplifile customers can eRecord in more than 1,388 counties and recording jurisdictions nationwide, including the top 20 largest counties by population.
“Having the ability to process recording fees and payments securely through Simplifile also helps to reduce payment errors and eliminate check-writing expenses,” Simplifile President Paul Clifford said. “Our eRecording service continues to bring countless cost- and time-saving benefits to all parties involved in the real estate transaction, and we’re thrilled to see our network of counties growing almost every day.”
High-speed Internet access, a PC and a scanner are the minimum requirements for customers to begin submitting documents for eRecording.
