Property Alerts

"Our office is excited to announce the launch of this new service for Tuscola County residents. The Property Record Notification Alert allows residents to keep a closer eye on their property records by receiving email updates whenever any document relating to their name is recorded in our office. Our hope is this new alert system will offer peace of mind to the residents of Tuscola County - something we weren't able to offer previously."

~Marianne Brandt, Tuscola County Register of Deeds

Property Alert allows every citizen to create a profile and receive email alerts when a document related to a specific name is recorded in the Tuscola County Register of Deeds Office. Once a user registers in the system, they will be automatically notified by email when a document associated with their name is recorded, allowing them to take swift action should the transaction be fraudulent.

IF AN ALERT IS RECEIVED

When a newly recorded document within the county matches select criteria identified in a subscription, an alert is sent to the email address associated with that subscription. The subscriber should expect that notification to include:

• The document number with a link to view the document
• The date the document was recorded
• The search criteria that was matched
• A phone number to contact our office for questions about the document, 989-672-3840

THINGS TO KNOW

Alerts are emailed based upon an exact criteria match. If the subscriber has a common name, each document recorded and indexed within the county on which that name is identified will be noticed to the subscriber. Individuals with common names are more likely to receive “false alarms” than individuals with uncommon names. If the subscriber has been known by more than one name, has changed names in the past, or may in the future, the subscriber may want to consider configuring subscription criteria accordingly.

Disclaimer:

The Property Record Notification Alert System is not fraud prevention. It is an alert system notifying you when a document has been recorded using your name or a name similar to yours. NOT EVERYTHING RECORDED IS FRAUD. Please contact a Real Estate Attorney if fraudulent activity has been committed.

Note:

This service is intended as an informational aid ONLY and should not be considered a substitute for manually reviewing one’s property records. Errors and omissions may occur and it is advisable to periodically review your property records even if you have received no alert notifications.
