Built for county recorders

The record every title rests on, kept sound.

Mesa is the records coworker for the recorder’s office. It answers recordability questions from the code itself, computes the fee stack line by line, and works a covenant modification from the owner’s request to the county counsel package.

See how it works

Mesa can read the recording statutes end to end and answer from their text. It can say what must be accepted, what may be refused, and what it costs, down to the fee on each line. Nothing it produces disturbs what is already recorded.

Use cases

How county recorders use Mesa

From recordability questions to covenant modifications, the work comes back cited to the code.

  • Handed a modification request, Mesa can pull the recorded declaration from the digitized official records, run OCR on the scanned book page, locate the unlawful restriction, verify it against the fair housing law, and prepare the redacted package for county counsel review. The original record is never altered; the modification records alongside it.

The permanent record

An office built on permanence needs tools that respect it.

What the recorder accepts becomes the county’s permanent record. Mesa is built so nothing it produces disturbs what is already recorded, and every action carries its reasoning with it.

See the full security posture

The original is never touched

Covenant modifications and truncation produce new versions that record or publish alongside the original. What was recorded stays recorded.

Nothing is overwritten

Redactions and annotations keep their full revision history, and an export is a snapshot of that moment. Revisiting a call later never changes what already went out.

Access under the office's control

SSO, fine-grained roles, and per-request assignments decide who prepares and who approves.

Never used to train AI

Customer data is contractually prohibited from training any model, whether Caldera's or any AI vendor's.
