Establishes a statewide electronic property recording alert system to notify property owners of recorded instruments and creates a fund for county.
The bill enacts the "homeowner fraud protection and property alert act," which establishes a statewide electronic property recording alert system. This system allows property owners to receive notifications when an instrument affecting their property, such as a deed, mortgage, or lien, is recorded in any county. The Department of State, in consultation with the Office of Information Technology Services and county recording officers, will establish and maintain this system. Property owners can enroll for free through an online portal, by telephone, by mail, or in person.
