Requires county recording officer to establish property alert service to notify participating property owners of recording of certain documents that affect property.
This bill requires county recording officers (like county clerks or registers of deeds) to create a property alert service. It allows property owners to voluntarily sign up to receive email or mail notifications within seven days when liens, deeds, or other documents affecting their property are recorded. Counties may charge up to $10 per property per year for this service. The bill aims to enhance protections against fraudulent property recordings by giving owners timely notice of changes to their property records. Participation is optional, and the service must be implemented within five months of the bill's enactment.
