The
County Recorder is an ex-officio statutorily mandated
duty of the Clerk. The office records and registers into the
Official Record Books all recordable instruments filed in
Miami-Dade County.
The
chief functions of this office are receiving, examining, filing
and recording instruments presented. Fees, Mortgage Taxes
and Real Estate Transfer Taxes are computed and collected.
In
1991, the County Recorder's Office began planning for the
twenty-first century with the introduction of a computerized
document processing system.
In
1995, a new index system was implemented in the County Recorder's
Records Library. This new system changed the index method
previously used on the mainframe computer to a simpler format
using a PC LAN platform.
The
system provides many advantages formerly not available, such
as, the capability to access data from the prior 20 years,
as opposed to the last five years formerly maintained on line.
Search is now possible on four fields simultaneously, thereby
significantly reducing the research time. The former system
required employees to search through thousands of entries
for a common name; however, in the new system, the employee
enters the first party name, the second party name, the type
of document and the year the document was recorded. This system
significantly reduces the amount of entries needed to access
applicable data or documents. By having the information in
the Clerk's PC network, the Miami-Dade County Clerk's Office
can respond more expeditiously to changes and easily effect
queries of the existing data for employees or the public quickly.
A
network document retrieval system allows customers to select
their own copies from microfilm. The images from the
microfilm are scanned, digitized and routed to a server where
they are coded, filed and stored until the customer calls
for them. The cashier then prints the stored copies and collects
the fees. This system also includes a facsimile feature which
is used specifically for sending copies directly to the District
Court Offices. When researching recorded documents for the
public with this system, a three-step manual process has been
reduced to one, creating a more efficient environment for
service. Plans are being developed for installation of an
optical imaging system to further enhance office operations
and service to the public.
