County Recorder offices around the country are at varying stages of automation and making information available to the public.  Automated access is being provided over the Internet, as well as by means of other computer access such as via modem and terminal use in public rooms.

Organizations such as NACRC and IACREOT have formed committees (such as the Property Records Industry Joint Task Force) which work to bring consistency to the property records industry, and to address new ways of approaching the Internet and electronic recording.

The FGDC Cadastral Data Content Standard offers a basis of cadastral definitions and entity/attribute relationships which may be used any time individual counties or associations of professionals in the property records industry address automation.
