Recorder
IN OHIO,
IT IS THE COUNTY RECORDER who has the important and indispensable
task of keeping the vital records pertaining to ownership in
real estate (land) and to all encumbrances or liens upon it.
Without the work of the County Recorder in recording, safekeeping
and organizing all documents in a competent and logical manner,
it would be nearly impossible to purchase land and be assured
of a clear title or to lend money with land as security.
