The launch of a fresh new website for the Coffee County Register’s Office went live on March 23, 2015.
www.coffeecountyregisterofdeeds.com, it is a multipage Web site that brings two special services with it:
It has a PRICING CALCULATOR; this feature allows someone who needs to know the costs of recording fees and provides an accurate method of pricing the documents straight from the Register’s software! Documents and instruments come to the Register’s office from our county and across the U.S.
There is FRAUD ALERT; this new on line service helps to monitor and protect the citizens and businesses of Coffee County against fraud.
The subscription to the fraud alert is offered free of charge. This is another step towards providing the newest and best resources available to the people of Coffee County.
Protecting consumers’ information is our top priority and requires more attention and vigilance than ever before. Fraud and Identity Theft are commonplace problems in today’s fast pace world.
While Fraud Alert will not prevent fraud from happening, it will provide an early warning system that will allow citizens to take appropriate actions should they deem possible fraudulent activity.
Users need only to go to the website and click onto Fraud Alert under the navigation column, after accepting the disclaimer, they will enter their names and contact information. Subscribers can choose to be contacted by phone or email. No personal information is required and there is no fee to enroll.
Register of Deeds Donna Toney said, “I am very excited about the launching of the new Coffee County Register of Deeds Office website that will give everyone access to information about this office. And to bring to our site two valuable features, the Pricing Calculator and Fraud Alert. My staff and I started working on this project the first three months in office and we are so proud to now have it available to the citizens of Coffee County.
The cost of this project was paid for by data processing fees that are collected on documents being filed or recorded and are earmarked for computerization of the office of the Register” stated Toney.
“The new website is advancing the Register of Deeds Office in the direction of e-filing along with credit card payments, this is all a part of our short-term plan for this year, along with getting all our documents and plats scanned. Our long-range goal is to complete scanning and indexing back to 1980 and to be in position to take the office paperless! We are working everyday toward that goal,” Toney said.
The new website can also be reached through the Coffee County government website under the Register of Deeds tab.
Toney added “we invite anyone to come by the office or call and we can assist them with using the new website.”
