Records Management
The Records Management Division manages and maintains the record-keeping system to ensure that records are accurate and accessible to both State Land Office staff and the public. In addition to preserving valuable paper records, the division provides ready access to records transferred to the division. Records have increased in volume by about 20 percent in the last four years, both in active inactive status. Records are assets to be managed like other property assets. State Trust Land records document ownership, land encumbered through leasing activity and land available for leasing. Records must be accurate, authentic and available when needed for as long as needed and throughout their lifecycle. These records document State Land Office activities and enable citizens to inspect records and hold the office accountable. The Division works with other agency staff to manage records according to Records Retention and Disposition schedules. It preserves records as long as necessary to protect rights and property, ensure accountability and document the chain of title for each section within a township and range.
