## What Is Deed Theft or Property Fraud?

 Property fraud can involve someone creating or recording a fraudulent document that appears to affect the ownership of, or a claim against, another person's property.

 For example, a fraudulent deed could falsely appear to transfer ownership of a home or parcel of land. Other fraudulent documents could potentially create a lien, encumbrance or other claim involving the property.

 Florida law makes it unlawful to knowingly file certain false documents or records involving real or personal property.

##  How Can I Protect My Flagler County Property From Deed Fraud?

 A good first step is to register for the Flagler County Clerk's **Recording Activity Notification** service.

 Once registered, the system sends an email when a document is recorded in Flagler County's Official Records using the exact name you've chosen to monitor.

 Important: This service does not stop a fraudulent document from being recorded.

 Think of it as an early-warning system. The alert gives you an opportunity to investigate a recording you don't recognize and take appropriate action if necessary.

## Should I Register More Than One Version of My Name?

 Yes, if your name appears in different forms.

 The Clerk's system looks for **exact name matches**. If official records could contain different versions of your name, register each variation you want monitored.

For example:

- Robert Smith
- Bob Smith
- Robert J. Smith
- A maiden name or previous legal name
- A business name you want monitored

 People with common names may receive alerts for documents belonging to someone else with the same name. Receiving an alert does not, by itself, mean fraud has occurred.

## What Happens When I Receive an Alert?

 The notification provides information about the newly recorded document so you can determine whether it relates to you.

 If you recognize the transaction, no further action may be needed. If you don't recognize the document, review the Official Records and determine what was recorded.

 If you believe a fraudulent document involving your property has been recorded, don't ignore it. Contact the appropriate authorities and consider obtaining legal advice about the steps necessary to address the recording.

##  How Do I Sign Up for Flagler County Property Fraud Alerts?

1. [ **Open the Flagler County Recording Activity Notification registration page.** ](https://records.flaglerclerk.gov/fraudalert)
2. Choose whether you are monitoring a **personal or business name.**
3. Enter the exact name you want monitored and your **email address.**
4. Submit the registration and **watch for the confirmation email.** Your subscription must be confirmed through the link sent to you.
5. Repeat the process for additional name variations you want the system to monitor.

## What Did Florida Change About Real Property Fraud?

 Florida enacted **HB 1419, Real Property Fraud**, in 2023. Among its provisions, the legislation addressed fraudulent real-property filings and recording notification services.

 The law strengthened procedures surrounding suspected fraudulent recordings and required Florida clerks of court to operate opt-in recording notification services.

 The notification system is useful because discovering a questionable filing quickly can give a property owner an opportunity to investigate and determine what action may be necessary.

## Other Ways to Keep an Eye on Your Property Records

 The free notification service is one useful tool, but property owners can take a few additional practical steps.

- Periodically review your property and Official Records information.
- Pay attention to unexpected mail involving deeds, mortgages, liens or property transfers.
- Be cautious about unsolicited requests for signatures or personal information involving your property.
- Register all relevant versions of your name with the Clerk's notification system.
- Investigate an unexpected recording alert rather than assuming it was sent in error.
