Room to grow
Our 2026 audit could not locate an online property-records portal for Galax City County. If one exists, we would be grateful to learn its URL so we can audit it accurately — the principles below are offered for any office considering moving records online.
What to ask for
If your office is designing or considering an online records portal, three principles other counties have found valuable from day one:
1. A robots.txt file that disallows automated scrapers
2. A Terms of Use that prohibits automated access
3. A notification system that alerts residents when their records are accessed
