Help Your Clients Protect Their Property with Fraud Alerts

Property fraud can be difficult to detect until after a fraudulent document has already been filed. Many local county clerk offices offer free property fraud alert services that can notify property owners when certain documents associated with their name or property are recorded.

Encourage your clients to register for these alerts as an added layer of awareness after closing. Select a county below to learn more about the available service and how to sign up.

Find Your County

Important: Property alert services are monitoring tools and do not prevent a fraudulent document from being filed. Services and notification options vary by county. Clients who have questions about a recorded document or believe they may be the victim of property fraud should contact the appropriate county clerk's office directly.
