Standards

These standards are all initially created by a committee with members of the UACR and members of the ULTA as a collaboration to find the solutions to common issues and create consistency among all parties involved.  Once both the UACR and the ULTA have approved a standard created by the committee it is sent to the County Recorder Standards Board made up from various members and representing parties involved with real property recordings and overseen by the Utah Department of Commerce division of professional Licensing.  The Board reviews the standards and makes any adjustments before approving them as a state wide standard.
