SentraDeed Recorder Notification System
How It Works

One daily run, fully reconciled

Your offices keep exporting what they already export. SentraDeed reads it, decides which documents need a notice, and hands back a printable batch with a manifest. Printing and mailing stay with county staff.

How counties send files: SFTP folders, console upload and file layouts →

1

Files arrive

Recorder · Assessor

Each office drops its daily export on a dedicated SFTP account or uploads it in the console. Files are validated as they land; bad rows are set aside and reported by ID, and the rest load.

  • —CSV, delimited, fixed-width, XML or Excel
  • —Missing or late files raise an alert at 10:00
  • —Duplicate files are ignored automatically
2

Mapped to one format

Onboarding

A versioned mapping profile translates your column names, date formats, document-type codes and APN layout. Nothing county-specific is hard-coded.

  • —Dry-run against sample files before go-live
  • —Every file records the profile version used
  • —Staff approve profile changes before they go live
3

Rules decide

Processing engine

Each document is classified as a notice, a notice flagged for signer review, an exception, or excluded, with the reason stored alongside.

  • —Government grantees excluded per §27297.7(c)
  • —Missing APNs read from the image, uncertain readings to staff
  • —Signer checks recognize trusts, companion deeds and agents
4

Staff resolve exceptions

Recorder staff

Anything that cannot be matched cleanly lands in the queue sorted by days left, with suggested parcels, corrected APN readings or successor parcels ready to accept.

  • —Hold for next Assessor file
  • —Release valid parcels on multi-APN documents
  • —Every action is audited
5

Batch, print, mail

Recorder staff

A daily batch collects pending notices into one accessible PDF sized for a #10 double-window envelope, plus a manifest and cover sheet.

  • —Approve, download, mark mailed
  • —Void and reprint individual notices
  • —Returned mail tracked if you choose
Decision Rules

Every outcome has a reason code

Thirteen rules run in a fixed order. The first one that applies sets the outcome, and every intermediate fact is stored with the decision, so staff and auditors can see exactly why a document did or did not get a notice.

Every run must balance received = covered + excluded
covered = noticed + review + open + dismissed
notices = Σ notices per noticed document
Notice Mailed
Parcel found, pre-recording address found, signer matches the owner of record.
Notice + signer review Flagged
Mailed as usual, and queued for staff because the signer differs from the owner of record.
Exception Needs action
Ten types, from a missing APN to an incomplete mailing address, each with its own resolution options.
Excluded No notice
Document type not covered, or a government agency is the grantee.
