LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — A new county service meant to help both businesses and individuals is coming in July.

To improve their services to county residents submitting documents through title companies, such as real estate transactions, the Lake County’s Recorder’s Office is implementing an electronic recording document system, or ERDS, which also is known as eRecording.  

This service is expected to “go live” July 1, culminating a long-time effort.  

Title companies will be able to submit documents via the county of Lake’s ERDS platform from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday, except holidays listed on the county of Lake’s website.  

Documents received after the deadline cannot be processed until the next business day.

As of Aug. 1, due to eRecording capabilities, title companies will not be able to submit documents in-person at the Lake County Recorder’s office.  

This is a standard practice used by many counties throughout California, and is expected to make recording services more effective.  

Any questions can be addressed to the Recorder’s Office, at 707-263-2302.
