Register of Deeds Website to Include New Search Features

The Mecklenburg County Register of Deeds Office has added new website
features that dramatically improve user access to records and optimize
search results.

Highlights of the improved site:

• Real estate searches from March 1990 to the present are
consolidated
• The results of real estate searches are easier to print and
navigate
• Search results can be sorted by any column
• An online request form to become a registered user.
Registered users will have access to more vital record information.
Previous rules forced those requesting a log-in to appear in person
and present a valid ID to register.
The upgraded system also shows temporary index data as well as
permanent index data.

"I hope that the changes we have made will lead to a greatly improved
experience for customers who utilize our website," said David
Granberry, Mecklenburg County Register of Deeds. "With the ability to
see temporary real estate indexes, website users will have access to
information that is as current as possible."

Information and images related to documents in the temporary index are
subject to change before they reach permanent status, Granberry said.

The improved site can be accessed through the County's main website at www.mecklenburgcountync.gov
or directly at http://meckrod.manatron.com.

The Mecklenburg County Register of Deeds is the official repository
for County records dating from 1763 to the present. These records
include real estate, marriage, notary public commissions, and military
discharges. In addition, this office provides certified copies of
birth and death records. For services not available at the website or
for questions, contact the agency at 704-336-2443.
