 Each of these high-level steps are documented in the following paragraphs:
+==== Complete the Letter Of Intent  required by the California Attorney General's ERDS Program Office. ====
+Each year, the California Attorney General's office distributes a letter to all California County Recorders, to identify the California counties that will be participating in the electronic recording process for the upcoming calendar year. This communication includes a Letter Of Intent (to participate) form that must be completed and returned by each California County Recorder. The Letter Of Intent initiates a process for determining the annual fee that is paid to the Attorney General's ERDS Program office and for establishing an MOU between the County Recorder and the Attorney General's ERDS Program office.
+For additional information about the Letter Of Intent or the ERDS Program, you can contact the Attorney General's ERDS Program Office by clicking this [[https://oag.ca.gov/erds/contact|Contact Form]] link.
