The Nashville Davidson County Register of Deeds Office reports that its electronic
recording of documents has been halted by the global tech outage that has shut down
airports, banks, and other institutions. Register of Deeds Karen Johnson announced this
afternoon that the office is closing at 2:30 p.m. today.
Microsoft says a fix of the underlying issue with its Windows operating system has been
deployed, but many users are not yet operational. The Register of Deeds Office has
been unable to record deeds and other documents, and customers have been unable to
access the e-recording system online.
“We are working with Metro IT and our partners at Business Information Systems to get
our system working again, but it appears that we will not have the issue resolved this
afternoon,” Johnson said. “We are closing the office at 2:30 p.m. today, and we expect
to be back up and running from 8 a.m-4 p.m. Monday during our regular hours.”
