Secretary of State Office’s Electronic Recording Technology Board Awards Over $18,000 to Sedgwick County

Denver, January 9, 2024 - The Department of State’s Electronic Recording Technology Board (ERTB) has awarded $18,658 to Sedgwick County to digitize land records and improve search tools for those records.

“This grant will help connect Sedgwick County government to the people they serve by funding their archiving efforts,” said Secretary Griswold. “I’m proud to offer this support to counties that need it.”

The ERTB was created in 2016 with the mission of developing, maintaining, improving, replacing, or preserving land records systems in our state. The ERTB’s statutory authority was renewed in 2021 with new legislation that allows the board to consider security improvements for counties’ land recording systems. The grants help counties – especially in rural Colorado – invest in technological upgrades. Since its creation, the board has awarded more than $10 million dollars to ensure county clerks are able to improve and maintain property records and other important documents.
