About PRIA
• PRIA is the leading national resource for both government and
business land records partners to develop and promote national
standards and best practices, including:
– Technology Standards and Implementation Guides
– White Papers and Best Practices
– Model Legislation
– Informational Resources
• PRIA has supported PREP (originally a project partnership between
PRIA, ALTA, NACRC, IACREOT and AEA) since 2002 when it was
created to involve participation at the LOCAL level.
About PREP
– What is PREP supposed to be about and how
can PREP help the industry locally?
• PREP is intended to provide a local structured
forum for property records industry stakeholders
to meet, talk and work together (and this forum
didn’t really exist before).
• Basically, we’ve found that the over 36 PREP
Chapter(s) have improved local working
relationships through discussion of local issues
and expanded educational opportunities.
PREP Chapters – What are people talking
about?
• Actual PREP Agendas and Meeting Minutes
are always on the PRIA/PREP webpage, so
you can see what is happening currently,
but here are a few topics being talked
about now:
– eRecording – eRecording symposiums with
vendors, users, submitters, etc. or current
status of eRecording in the area.
PREP Chapters – What are people talking
about?
– Land Fraud – Chapters are using the
prepared land fraud survey presentations on
the PRIA/PREP webpage and they are also
asking their local district attorneys and/or
state and local government reps specializing
in land fraud issues to come to their
meetings.
PREP Chapters – What are people talking
about?
– Privacy Issues in Land Records – Groups are using
the PRIA Privacy white paper (on the PRIA webpage)
to kick off discussion and just putting it on the
agenda from time to time;
– Notary Basics – Chapters are often discussing notary
issues (and there is an audio presentation available
on the PRIA/PREP webpage which gives a clear
overview of what to expect from a Notary that gets
used regularly.)
– Document rejection stats – Many chapters are
putting this on the agenda again, since higher
volumes of recordings are starting to return.
PREP Chapters – What are people talking
about?
– Charging Fees for access to land records –
This still comes up as a topic (and PRIA has a
useful white paper on “Bulk Records Access”
on their webpage).
– Whatever local issues are pending (such as
inquiries about raising local recording fees)
PREP Chapters – What are people talking
about?
• Land Descriptions and Interpretations – one
Chapter held an all day seminar with
presentations from the local Land Surveyors
Association to review for Recorders/Title
people methods used to create Surveys.
PREP Chapters – What are people talking
about?
• GIS and Land Records – This relationship still
comes up frequently, especially when counties
link Assessor/Recorder systems.(ESRI is one of
PRIAs members and is willing to speak to
Chapters or provide an outline of discussion
about this relationship and how it will help
citizens to have these bodies of data
connected.)
