The register is elected to a four-year term, and operates under a fee system to pay salaries and other expenses, while remitting excess fees quarterly to the county general fund. The register's primary function is to make and preserve a record of instruments required or allowed by law to be filed or recorded, including but not limited to deeds, powers of attorney, morgages, liens, contracts, plats, leases, papers under the Uniform Commercial Code and other types of instruments.
