Arkansas Electronic Recording Commission

Mission Statement

The commission will work together supporting the Uniform Real Property Electronic Recording Act. We will consider the views and resources of all interested parties as it pertains to the county recorders, title industry, financial industry, legal community and the private sector. We will work to develop standards and practices that work in harmony with other jurisdictions. Once developed and approved, we will implement and carry forward the most recent standards of the Property Records Industry Association (PRIA). The commission will review and make recommendations for possible policy and statutory changes that would bring statewide continuity to the electronic recording process so that we are promoting the most efficient and secure services to our citizens.

Vision Statement
