Meet Mark
Mark Chilton has been Orange County Register of Deeds since 2014. He is a 1993 graduate of UNC-CH (BA in Geography) and received his law degree from NC Central University School of Law cum laude in 1997.
Mark has dedicated his life to public service, from 1991 when he became the youngest-ever elected official in North Carolina when he joined the Chapel Hill Town Council, serving as one of the Town of Carrboro's Aldermen and then its Mayor from 2003 to 2013, and then proudly being elected Orange County's Register of Deeds in 2014. Mark is also passionate about the geography and history of our region, and how understanding more about our past helps create equity and justice in our present. He also gets a kick out of kayaking, winning (and losing) at cards, and traveling with his wife and family.
