Open the companion tool →Why public records become a paid product
Recording data is public. Anyone can look it up, and a mailer can personalise the rest with a few scraped details until the offer reads like an official notice.
Your county recorder or clerk provides deed copies for a nominal or zero cost, and homestead exemptions and property fraud alerts are usually free through the county or state.
The protocol
- Read the letter for who actually sent it, not who it implies sent it.
- Look up the property record directly through your county recorder or tax assessor's office.
- Compare the county's real fee with what the letter charges, and keep both figures.
- Do not sign an unfamiliar form that authorises a third party to act on your property.
- Report solicitations that imitate a government office to your state attorney general.
