Owner Alert Service – FREE for San Diego County Homeowners
Thanks to the San Diego County Assessors Office, there’s a new measure you can take to protect yourself from fraud.
Why Do I Need Owner Alert?
Companies and individuals can record documents that link to either you, your trust, or your property. This can be a lien, a forged grant deed, or a number of other records. Unless you know to look for it, you won’t know it’s there. Some people are shocked when they discover a lien on their property, or a false claim of ownership.
Luckily, there is a way to alert you when anything is recorded in your name or property. The San Diego County Assessor’s Office free anti-fraud “Owner Alert” service can help.
How Does It Work?
You can connect your email address to your property, like a subscription. After this, if someone records any documents linked to you or your property, you will be notified immediately. Signing up for this service is easy – you just need an email address and your property’s Assessor Parcel Number (APN).
You can also register your name, and/or the name of your trust – up to 10 different names and/or 10 APNs per registered email address.
