“There are lots of exciting things going on in our office, with the goal of making this branch of county government more user-friendly,” said Clermont County Recorder Debbie Clepper.

Her office, located on the first floor of the Clermont County Administration Building (101 E. Main Street in Batavia) is tasked with keeping vital records pertaining to ownership in county real estate (land) and to all encumbrances or liens upon it.

“The most frequent users of our office are title examiners and people who are doing historical or property research; in fact some of them are here so often, someone may think they’re part of our staff!” said Clepper.
