Olmsted County launches new Land Notification Alerts service for property owners
In an effort to help protect property owners in Olmsted County against fraud, the Olmsted County Property Records and Licensing team has launched a new Land Notification Alerts service. Land Notification Alerts warn property owners when documents are recorded with their personal name, business name, or property ID number. Each time an alert is triggered, an email is sent to the property owner to provide an update of any activity.
“Land Notification Alerts is a free service Olmsted County is offering to property owners,” said Director of Olmsted County Property Records and Licensing Mark Krupski. “If you are interested in receiving these alerts, all you need to do is sign up. We will only contact you if a document qualifies for the alerts that you set up. This will help you protect your most valuable asset and stay on top of any fraudulent claims.”
Property fraud is when someone illegally uses your name on records related to your property for financial gain or acquisition of your assets.
“Mortgage and real estate fraud do occur and is a growing crime in our society,” continued Krupski. “Monitoring records on your property can help in the prevention of this crime.”
