The purpose of the Land Records Management Division is to encourage county governments to utilize modern methods, techniques, equipment, and documentation which will improve the quality of public services with respect to land records and achieve a high degree of standardization throughout the state. The program provides technical assistance and grant funds for the improvement of county land records. Since the funds available in any one year are sufficient to meet only a part of the total need, in making grants the state will consider:

1. (1) the creation of a more efficient standardized land record system; and
2. (2) the willingness and ability of local government units to meet their responsibilities through sound fiscal policies, creative planning, and efficient operations and management.
