The Lake County Recorder offers the Ohio Legislature’s Veteran I.D. card program. Improvements were made in 2017 by dissolving the fee which was being charged to our Veterans. Says Recorder Becky Lynch, “I am honored to have this important policy change as my first act as Lake County Recorder and to offer our Veterans a way to preserve their discharge documents along with providing them with a convenient State I.D. This is a stronger program instituted at the state level and we are thankful for the efforts both statewide and nationally.”
The Lake County Recorder’s Office maintains the county’s land records. The first Lake County Ohio Deed was recorded on April 16, 1840. Recorder Becky Lynch is the 25th Lake County Recorder. Each day recordings are scanned, indexed and preserved by some of the most modern methods available.
