The Santa Cruz County recorder’s office has launched a free online service aimed at protecting property owners from potential real estate fraud. This innovative initiative is designed to notify individuals when a document related to their property is recorded, providing an essential layer of security in an increasingly complex real estate landscape.
With the rise of fraudulent activities in property transactions, this service is a proactive measure to safeguard homeowners.

This includes notices of deeds, mortgages, and other significant filings that could indicate fraudulent activity.
The service is user-friendly and accessible, allowing homeowners to stay informed and take immediate action if they suspect any irregularities. By empowering property owners with timely information, Santa Cruz County aims to enhance community awareness and foster a safer environment for real estate transactions. This initiative reflects a commitment to protecting the rights and investments of residents in the face of evolving threats in the property market.
