The Oakland County Clerk/ Register’s Office has been recognized by the National Association of Counties (NACo) with a 2025 NACo Achievement Award for MiPropDocs, a first-of-its-kind in the country service which allows individuals to electronically record certain real estate document types at the Oakland County Register of Deeds Office.
“MiPropDocs is about making services more accessible to the public. I’m proud to have developed this convenient option for those recording documents that do not transfer ownership of real estate and who don’t record frequently enough to justify going through the process to establish a full-service e-recording account,” said Lisa Brown, Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds. “Our office’s high-volume customers have utilized e-recording for years but establishing a full-service e-recording account requires purchasing an annual license from an e-recording company as well as a waiting period. My goal with MiPropDocs is to bring the convenience of e-recording to more and more users.”
Document types acceptable for recording using MiPropDocs include Affidavits, Association Liens, Association Discharges, Claims of Lien, Certificates of Trust, Discharges, Lis Pendens, Notices of Commencement, Releases, and Satisfactions of Mortgage. Deeds and other documents that transfer ownership are not eligible for submission through MiPropDocs, at this time. Consistent with current e-recording standards documents related to mortgage foreclosure are also not acceptable through MiPropDocs.
Residents can find out more and access the system at MiPropDocs.com.
This is not Clerk Lisa Brown’s first “first-of-its-kind” innovation. Oakland County’s Property Records Notification (PRN) was developed and introduced by Brown to national accolades and was even showcased at the “Google Next” conference in 2019. The free service allows users to set up personalized alerts to provide notice when documents are filed at the Oakland County Register of Deeds Office affecting real property in Oakland County.
“It is an honor to have our efforts receive this level of national recognition, but MiPropDocs is primarily about making services more accessible to the public,” said Brown. “It is particularly gratifying that other Michigan counties have seen value in our innovation and have begun to replicate our program.”
Founded in 1935, the National Association of Counties (NACo) represents nearly 40,000 county elected officials and 3.6 million county employees nationwide through advocacy of county priorities in federal policymaking and enriching the public’s understanding of county government, among other things.
Started in 1970, NACo’s annual Achievement Awards program is designed to recognize innovative, effective county government programs that strengthen services for residents. Nationally, awards are given in 18 different categories that reflect the vast, comprehensive services counties provide.
