County asks for patience as they continue working through priorities
information released
Chelan County’s recording systems are back online on a limited basis following a system-wide failure that occurred over the Memorial Day weekend, the acting auditor announced today.
“I know many people and businesses depend on our ability to record a variety of legal documents, including marriage licenses, deeds, mortgages, real estate contracts and liens,” said Acting Auditor Brandt Cappell. “I am grateful for the outstanding work of our IT team, which has restored our core system functions.”
The Auditor’s Office is again accepting marriage license applications. People planning to apply are strongly encouraged to complete the online “pre-application” in advance to help save time when visiting the office.
While normal recording operations have partially resumed, e-recording is currently operating on a limited basis. Cappell asks for patience from title companies, attorneys and the public as staff work through the backlog of both electronic and physical documents.
“Please keep in mind we have multiple weeks of documents to record while still managing day-to-day operations,” he said. “My staff is prioritizing the processing of all submissions while continuing to balance other duties, including vehicle and vessel registrations and title changes.”
