The Northampton County Department of Fiscal Affairs announced that the Recorder of Deeds office is now offering a new Record Alert System for property owners in Northampton County. The Alert System is free of charge to anyone who would like to sign up for the service.

The Record Alert System monitors recorded activity against the name and parcel ID of a property owner. Those signed up for the program will receive real-time alerts from the recording vendor, LANDEX, whenever changes are made to their deeds, mortgages, or other recordable documents, whether legitimate or fraudulent. Businesses are also welcome to sign up for this service.

“Northampton County is taking a significant step to combat theft for our property owners,” says County Executive Lamont G. McClure. “County residents can look into the LANDEX webstore for free to see what activity was recorded. If a document is presented properly, signed, and acknowledged, the Recorder of Deeds is obligated to record it. If a document is on record that residents did not authorize, residents can look into it further.”

Northampton County property owners can register their property through the county website using their name, address, or unique parcel identifier here: www.landex.com/recordalert/northampton.
