The Office of the Recorder of Deeds announced that its records are available online. The database, at http://www.virginislands.us.landata.com/,
can be searched for documents retrieved for $2 a page. An annual
subscription is also available, which reduces the cost of $1 a page.
St. John land records are housed in the St. Thomas office. The
Recorder’s motto, according to her Web site, is "You are not an
interruption to our business – you are our business". Documents
available on the site have been scanned by Landata technologies Inc. of
Texas. The Lt. Gov said that in addition to property deeds, mortgages,
and liens which are available, so too are maps of the territory, the Virgin Islands Daily News reported.
