The Taylor County Clerk of Court's Office provides the Property Fraud and Recording Notification Service free to the public as a way for property owners or other interested parties to receive alert messages by email when a transaction that affects a registered name is recorded by the Taylor County Clerk of Court’s Office. The service works by matching party names on recorded documents with requests made by subscribers to the Property Fraud and Recording Notification Service.

PLEASE NOTE, THE PROPERTY FRAUD AND RECORDING NOTIFICATION SERVICE DOES NOT PREVENT FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY. IT WILL ALERT THE SUBSCRIBER TO LOOK INTO THE MATTER FURTHER AND ASSIST IN MONITORING UNAUTHORIZED ACTIVITY ON SPECIFIC PROPERTY. LAW ENFORCEMENT MUST BE CONTACTED TO REPORT ANY SUSPECTED FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY AND, IF YOU BELIEVE IT TO BE WARRANTED, CONSIDER APPROPRIATE LEGAL ACTION.

This free service does not constitute a liability on the part of the Taylor County Clerk of the Circuit Court’s Office.

Property Fraud is when someone illegally uses your property for financial gain. An instance of this entails someone recording a fraudulent deed and/or lien against your property in the Official Records of the Taylor County Clerk’s Office. By registering with the Property Fraud and Recording Notification Service may be the first step in protecting your property. Signing up for this service alerts you to recorded activity on your property in Taylor County, Florida, but does not prevent fraudulent activity from taking place.

The recording notification provides an early warning system for subscribers to become aware of what may have otherwise gone undetected. Subscribers armed with this information will be able to take prompt and appropriate action if they determine the activity to be fraudulent. If you are alerted to a transaction and believe it to be fraudulent, you must contact law enforcement to report it and/or, if you consider it to be warranted, take appropriate legal action.

You may access your registration information to view, add or delete registered names at any time by using the same email address that you used for your initial registration and by following the same process.

The Clerk's Office works to ensure the accurate recording of all official documents, including legal description, Parcel IDs and party names as long as the documents meet the recording requirements. However, the Clerk's Office makes no warranty or guarantee as to the accuracy of these records. The Taylor County Clerk of Court’s Office assists subscribers in using the Property Fraud and Recording Notification Service, but the subscriber is ultimately responsible for providing and maintaining valid email addresses and entering correct party name information.
