Property Fraud Alert is an online subscription service offered to the public that allows you to have your name monitored within the Antrim County Register of Deed’s office in order to track possible fraudulent recordings that affect your property.

The threat of mortgage fraud and identity theft crimes continue to rise, and all too often victims of these types of fraudulent activities are unaware their homes or identity have been stolen. While Property Fraud Alert does not prevent fraud from happening; it provides an early warning system for property owners to take appropriate actions should they determine possible fraudulent activity has taken place.

It’s simple! Just enter your personal and/or business name and you will be notified when a document is recorded with your name match.
