Property owners can now access a tool through the Contra Costa County Clerk-Recorder’s Office website that provides an extra layer of security for recordings.
The opt-in tool allows those with recorded documents to be notified of any new recoding activity related to their property, the Clerk-Recorder states. Property owners can sign up to receive an email notification anytime a document related to the property address, parcel number, or name associated with the property is indexed after recording.
The notification program is optional, and property owners can sign up on the Clerk-Recorder website.
“Our office is always looking for ways to offer as much security as possible to property owners,” said Kristin B. Connelly, Clerk-Recorder for Contra Costa County. “This real estate recording notification program, along with our partnership with the District Attorney’s office to protect homeowners from fraudulent transfers of ownership, offers an important layer of security to Contra Costa County property owners.”
