Walter, Peggy (Retiring Register of Deeds – 3 Jan. 2021)
Peggy Walter, Clark County Register of Deeds, has announced her intent to retire
as register of deeds at the end of her current term. The term will officially
end Jan. 3, 2021.
In a press release, Walter stated that in in addition to fulfilling the daily
statutory duties of the office during the past seven years, she has overseen the
completion of several major projects intended to improve the daily workflow of
the Register of Deeds office. Walter further stated that these projects created
opportunities for customers to search document information related to their
Clark County land records online and streamlined the process for those
professional service providers who utilize the office, such as title companies,
attorneys and financial institutions.
Some of the projects included scanning 143 volumes of deed record books, 28
tract index books and 60 grantor/grantee index books and importing the scanned
images into the county records system for online viewing by the public. Another
project was scanning of 14 vital records index books, which are not available
online. “The benefits of having record books scanned and digitized is two-fold,”
Walter wrote. “These projects not only make the records available for convenient
access by the public from any computer, they also create another resource if a
disaster relief recovery situation should arise such as fire or water damage to
the bound record books housed in the office.”
In 2015, the office commenced the process of recording documents submitted to
the office via electronic format.
“This was a major accomplishment as electronic recording offers substantial
benefits to customers in the form of cost savings, productivity gains and the
immediate return of recorded document images to the submitter by electronic
means,” Walter stated.
Walter said that her tenure at Register of Deeds has been and continued to be a
positive experience.
“I truly enjoy serving the citizens of Clark County as their Register of Deeds,”
said Walter. “I have also been and continue to be extremely proud of the work
ethic and level of service the Register of Deeds staff provides to the public.”
