Recorder Notification Program Services

Government Code § 27297.7 requires each California county, on or before January 1, 2027, to establish a recorder notification program and requires the board of supervisors to adopt an authorizing resolution. Following adoption, the Recorder must, within 30 days after recordation of a deed, quitclaim deed, mortgage, or deed of trust, notify by mail the party or parties executing the document. The notice must be sent to the address for mailing tax bills that was established before the document was recorded. The statute excludes documents for which the federal government, the State, a county, a city, or any subdivision of the state is the grantee . The complete and controlling statutory text is available from the California Legislative Information website. If the statute changes during the procurement or contract term, the Contractor shall cooperate with the County in implementing legally required changes through the contract change process. The County's objectives and expectations of the contractor for this project are to: Comply with California Government Code section 27297.7 and all applicable legal requirements. Notify the party or parties executing any of the covered recorded documents within the statutory 30-day period. Ensure notices are accurate, complete, and mailed to the appropriate pre-recordation tax-bill address. Establish a secure, reliable, and auditable process for producing and mailing notifications. Provide effective record tracking, exception management, reporting, and invoice reconciliation. Protect County data throughout processing, transmission, storage, retention, and disposal. Implement a sustainable and cost-effective program that minimizes the administrative burden on County staff.
