Mortgage and recording fraud is on the rise. Mortgage and recording fraud happens when the title to real estate is illegally transferred and recorded without the knowledge or consent of the legal owner.  As a homeowner, you need to protect yourself and your property from these detrimental fraud activities.

Luckily, Washoe County has developed a new system called Washoe County Recording Notification Service to help keep you alerted to potential fraudulent Recording activities. This service allows members of the public to receive an email alert whenever a document is recorded at the Washoe County Recorder's Office against their property. It is free and simple to sign up and we highly recommend that you take advantage of this service.
