Property Fraud Alert is an online subscription service that allows residents to have their names monitored by the County Clerk’s office to track possible fraudulent recordings that affect their property.
It only takes five minutes to sign up for the service, she said.
Subscribers will be notified when the name they submitted is used in any recording activities within the County Clerk’s office.
