Title Clerk Duties and Responsibilities
Daily duties for title clerks vary based on the number of titles that need to be transferred and the type of titles they work with on a regular basis. However, the core duties for title clerks are essentially the same in all offices:
Prepare Documents Title clerks prepare tax and title documents to transfer ownership of property.
Submit Paperwork Title clerks submit title documents to the appropriate government office, such as the Department of Motor Vehicles or the County Clerk’s Office.
Verify Funds Title clerks verify that funds have been collected on sales before processing titles and verify the amount of money still owed.
Check Documents Title clerks look over documents to ensure that all information is accurate and double-check important data such as names and addresses.
Answer Phones Title clerks answer incoming phone calls and route calls to the appropriate person within the office.
Clerical Tasks Title clerks perform general clerical tasks, such as filing, data entry, and copying.
Maintain Work Area Title clerks keep their work areas clean and organized to maintain a professional appearance at all times.
Send Paperwork to Customers Title clerks make copies of all relevant title paperwork, organize the documents, and send this packet to the customer. At times, this may require title clerks to travel outside the office to hand-deliver documents.
Answer Questions Title clerks respond to questions from customers and explain the title transfer process to them.
Title Clerk Education and Training
Title clerks are entry-level employees, so many companies do not have strict educational requirements for these professionals. Most employers require title clerks to have a high school diploma or equivalent, but formal education beyond this is not necessary. Because some travel is involved, many companies ask title clerks to also have a valid driver’s license with a clean driving record. Because this is an entry-level position, title clerks typically receive training upon being hired. This training period varies by employer but usually lasts one to two weeks as title clerks learn how to perform their daily job duties. During training, title clerks work closely with an office manager or a senior staff member.
Title Clerk Salary and Outlook
General office clerks earned $31,500 median annual income, $15.14 hourly median income, in 2017. There were more than three million jobs for general office clerks in 2016, a number the Bureau of Labor Statistics expects to experience little or no change through 2026. Like title clerks, general office clerks have a high school education and perform many office tasks, including answering phones, filing, and performing data entry. PayScale data shows that title clerks earn $13.97 hourly income. A majority of employers provide title clerks with basic benefits packages that include health insurance coverage. Additionally, some title clerks may receive dental and vision coverage. Paid vacation days and sick days are also typically provided to title clerks. Some employers offer additional job perks to title clerks, such as free parking.
