Even though we don't get many comments posted by readers using the blog comment feature, many of you have sent me emails responding to prior postings on the blog. I'm grateful for these messages for a number of reasons. First, they tell me that people are actually reading this. But in addition, the comments tend to be substantive and very helpful. For instance, a reader asked whether our regulations for plans are available electronically. They are not, but that's only because we hadn't thought about it. Tomorrow we will add our plan regulations to the website. Another person asked about the range of data and images on our website. That made me realize that nowhere on the website is that information mentioned. That will be fixed tomorrow, as well. If you can't wait until tomorrow, our index goes back to 1976 but our images go back to 1950. So if you have the book and page number of a document, you can retrieve it from our website provided it was recorded in 1950 or more recently. If you want to search by owner name or property address, however, you can only do that as far back as 1976 (for now, at least). These are just two examples of how readers and registry users are helping to improve the quality of service available to you electronically. If you have any similar suggestions, please don't hesitate to send them along - just CLICK HERE.
