MOULTRIE, Ga. â The Colquitt County Board of Commissioners approved several expenditures Tuesday night, including the purchase of an aerial photography program to assist the Board of Assessors, but it held off on a reduced project to digitize records at the Colquitt County Clerk of Courtâs office.
Deed records at the clerk of courtâs office are already digitized and indexed back to 1990, according to a presentation from Court Clerk Lynn Purvis at the commissionâs July 20 work session. She presented a proposal at that meeting to digitize the records back to 1960 at a cost of $50,890, but that cost would not include indexing the material. The reason 1960 was chosen was because an attorney working to clarify the title of land thatâs being sold has to go back 60 years under state law.Â
