§ 19-133. County offices.

A.  Every county officer, except as may otherwise be provided in this chapter, shall keep the office and records at the county seat.  However, a county officer may establish an additional office or additional offices at any location within the county.  A county employee who is employed at an additional office by one county officer may perform duties on behalf of another county officer if specifically authorized by each county officer on whose behalf the employee is performing duties.

B.  For purposes of filing and recording of documents, the additional county office may receive documents for the sole purpose of collection and delivery to the main county seat office.  The additional county office shall not file or record the documents pursuant to law at the additional county office, but shall deliver such documents to the main county seat office.  Any document which may be delivered to the additional county office for filing or recording pursuant to law shall not be deemed filed or recorded and shall not impart constructive notice of such document on third parties until such document is delivered and recorded pursuant to law at the main county seat office.
