Candidates for
Orange County Register of Deeds
Mark H. Chilton
Candidate for OC Register of Deeds
Having served 8 years as Register of Deeds and worked as a real estate attorney for 17 years before that. I am highly knowledgeable about all the kinds of documents which come through this office. Over the last 8 years, through retirements, I have trimmed the staff by 15%. Our new software system has allowed us to handle a 75% increase in transactions with a smaller staff. As a result, we have increased our net revenues returned to Orange County by 150% – all while expanding services, like US Passports, simplified small business filings, and Fraud Alert. In my next term, I will implement a further software upgrade which will eliminate 100,000 pages per year of unnecessary printing, and make birth and death certificate handling even faster by electronic transmission.”
