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 GuidesWhite Papers and Best Practices Model Legislation Informational Resources PRIA has supported PREP 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 your industry within your community?PREP provides a local structured forum for property records industry stakeholders to meet and work together more effectively. We’ve found that the over 36 PREP Chapter(s) have improved local working relationships through discussion of local issues and expanded educational opportunities.
About PREP PREP Chapter participants are better informed and enjoy a stronger voice when addressing state and federal legislation, standards, and best practices. PREP is a way to meet that requires only (1) Government and (1) Business co-chair who organize meetings (only one PREP participant must be a PRIA member although PRIA membership is encouraged.)
About PREP PREP provides a mechanism to work with “problem” areas in the local market place PREP provides a united forum to develop meaningful legislationPREP participation has been proven to reduce document rejection rates PREP helps develop a broad contact “go to” list
About PREP PREP gives you a reason to invite stakeholders from all parts of the real property industry such as: recorders, title companies, recording system vendors, mortgage companies, banks, escrow agents, etc. PREP is a cost efficient way to stay involved with important issues locally and to hear from PRIA about national standards setting and necessary industry education.
About PREP PREP enhances recognition in your county and community: Local public officials who have PREP chapters and work with their business counterparts to solve industry related issues allow Recording officials to have a greater presence with their business constituencyConversely PREP allows the business community to be heard directly by county officials.
PREP Chapter Co-chair Responsibilities As a PREP Chapter co-chair what are my responsibilities? Co-chairs set up meetings and keep a current inventory of the local real property records people in all sectors of the industry (title folks, county recorders/staff, banking, mortgage, escrow, other governmental agencies, notaries, legal secretaries, attorneys, data aggregators, recording related vendors, etc.)
PREP Chapter Co-chair Responsibilities Co-chairs hold meetings consistently and on a schedule that works in their region (could be monthly via phone or in person, quarterly, semi-annually or annually)Co-chairs find speakers, topics and prepare agendas that focus on issues of interest locally and/or on PRIA information
PREP Chapter Co-chair ResponsibilitiesCo-chairs communicate with PRIA’s PREP Coordinator: Let her know annually and/or intermittently all your proposed meeting datesSend all minutes/agendas to herSend all attendee lists to her(Templates for all the above are on the PRIA/PREP webpage )
PREP Chapter Topics Actual PREP Agendas and Meeting Minutes are always on the PRIA/PREP webpage , but here are a few topics commonly seen: eRecording – hold an eRecording symposium with vendors, users, submitters, etc. or simply have a discussion/check in to check current status of eRecording in your area.
PREP Chapter Topics Land Fraud – there are prepared land fraud survey presentations on the PRIA/PREP webpage and this is always a good topic to ask your local district attorneys and/or state and local government reps who specialize in land fraud issues.
PREP Chapter Topics Privacy Issues in Land Records – There is a privacy white paper suitable for discussion on the PRIA/PREP webpage; this is a good area to discuss the always ongoing issues in the area of land records.Notary Basics – There is an audio presentation available on the PRIA/PREP webpage which gives a clear overview of what to expect from a Notary.Document rejection stats – This area is becoming an issue again with higher volumes of recording starting to return.
PREP Chapter Topics Charging Fees for access to land records – always a controversial topic, as different counties and states often do this differently and via subscription services OR simply on the internet for free. See white paper on PRIA webpage on Bulk Records Access.
PREP Chapter Topics Land Descriptions and Interpretations – one Chapter held an all day seminar with presentations from the local Land Surveyors Association. They are also going to invite the Surveyors to review how they create Surveys for Recorders/Title people and discuss different methods used by Surveyors.
PREP Chapter Topics GIS and Land Records – how do the two relate and why is it important? 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 the citizen to have these bodies of data connected.
