The Santa Cruz County recorder’s office has launched a free online service aimed at protecting property owners from potential real estate fraud. This innovative initiative is designed to notify individuals when a document related to their property is recorded, providing an essential layer of security in an increasingly complex real estate landscape.

The service is user-friendly and accessible, allowing homeowners to stay informed and take immediate action if they suspect any irregularities.

This initiative reflects a commitment to protecting the rights and investments of residents in the face of evolving threats in the property market.
