Nevada Property Records

Property records in Nevada are a part of the public record maintained by local government offices across the state. These records are largely handled by the County Recorder's Office, the County Assessor's Office, and the County Treasurer's Office. Each of these offices plays a distinct role in documenting ownership and tracking the value of real estate across all Nevada counties.

Property records serve as proof of real estate activity, and several individuals and professionals rely on them for different reasons. The major users include property owners, real estate agents, appraisers, inspectors, title companies, attorneys, government agencies, and real estate investors. For example, property owners use property records to confirm ownership and monitor tax obligations, while attorneys depend on them to ensure a clean transfer of property ownership.

Property records in Nevada are public and widely accessible. While some older records have been digitized, many have not. Current records are largely available in electronic forms and most counties offer online databases where anyone can search them. Property records are also accessible in person at the appropriate local county offices.

What Are Property Records?

Property records are documents containing comprehensive information about a parcel of land. Such information includes ownership details, tax assessments, structural data, and deeds. Different records serve varying purposes and carry diverse legal weights. In Nevada, property records are largely categorized as legal documents and informational documents.

Legal Documents - These are the foundation of real estate transactions. They establish ownership rights, confirm transfers, and protect parties involved in a transaction. Common legal property documents include recorded deeds, mortgages, liens, and easements. Without these, there is no legally recognized claim to a property.
Informational Documents - Informational property records do not transfer or establish ownership. Rather, they paint a detailed picture of the property itself. These records include estimated market value, tax assessments, building characteristics, and sketches of the structure.

Property records in Nevada cover both old and new documents. Historical records, which trace ownership back to several decades are archived on microfilm or stored in county repositories. On the other hand, current records reflect the most recent ownership details, tax status, and property characteristics. They are mostly digitized for online access.

Purpose of Nevada Property Records

Property records generally keep transactions transparent. All entries in Nevada property records exist for various reasons, including the following:

When ownership changes hands, a deed is recorded to make the transfer official.
Authorized local government agencies use them to assess property taxes.
Lenders rely on property records to secure mortgages.
Real estate investors and appraisers track value trends over time, while buyers review records to avoid issues such as disputed boundaries and unpaid liens.

Government Sources

Nevada property records are locally managed, with each county maintaining a part of the state's real estate records. Here are key government sources of property records in the state:

County Recorder's Office - The Recorder's Office manages records that prove ownership and tracks every property transfer. These records include deeds, mortgages, liens, and other legally binding documents.
County Assessor Office - Each County Assessor Office in Nevada handles valuation data. They assign parcel numbers, estimate property value, and maintain property characteristics for taxation purposes.
District Courts - Legal files of divorce, probate, or foreclosure proceedings originate from District Courts before being recorded at the county level.

The state's property record system preserves both historical and current real estate activity. Older records are typically stored in county archives or preserved on microfilm. These records can include early subdivision maps, handwritten deeds, and historical filings that have not been digitized. On the other hand, current or modern records are largely available through online portals where you can search and retrieve documents quickly.

Online Access

Nevada property records are easy to retrieve online if you know where to look. Most counties in the state manage digital systems that allow people to look up records conveniently without visiting local offices. To access property records online in the state, here are the steps you need to take:

Identify the county where the property is located.
Visit the County Recorder or Assessor website, depending on the property-related record you intend to find.
Choose your search method. Most county portals allow searches by the owner's name. Property address, document number, or parcel ID.
Once you find the property, review available records. While some are viewable immediately, you may need to pay a small fee to download copies of certain records.

Nevada's most populated jurisdictions offer the most comprehensive digital access to property records. They include the following:

Carson City
Washoe County
Clark County
Douglas County

The Nevada State Library, Archives and Public Records preserves historical documents. You may find older property records, especially those not yet digitized, including land records, early maps, and archived filings through the library's digital archives.

In-Person Access

Sometimes, it is best to search property records in person, especially when looking for older documents or records not properly indexed online or requiring certified copies of the records being sought. While it is more convenient to access property records online, in-person visits remain invaluable, as they tend to provide you with more detailed information.

You can take the following steps to search property records in person in Nevada:

Identify the county where the property is situated.
Determine which agency or local office has the record being sought in custody. You may need to contact the office to know whether scheduling an appointment is required for in-person record searches.
Gather the basic information needed for the search before visiting, which may include parcel ID, property address, and the property owner's full name.
Visit the office during business hours. You may also use the public terminals available in some counties to search records yourself.
Request copies of records if needed, but this may come at a fee.

The local office you visit for property records in Nevada depends on the type of record you need. The following are the directories of the major agencies responsible for property record maintenance in the state:

Commercial Sources

Official county portals only have fragments of property records. This means that while one may have deeds, you will have to check separate platforms for maps and tax data. However, with commercial platforms you can find everything through a single, streamlined search.

Commercial sources pull from multiple public record sources across Nevada and the U.S., then layer in additional datasets you may not typically find through official county portals. This can save you time if you search property records frequently, including those that span multiple jurisdictions. Instead of switching between multiple county sites, you can run one search and get a consolidated report that includes lending insights, mortgage details, estimated market values, risk indicators, and neighborhood trends.

Many commercial property record platforms offer subscription-based services that offer high-volume access to documents and allow professionals to run repeated queries. Furthermore, they offer users flexible search options. Unlike most government platforms, most commercial portals will allow you to search using the owner's names, property address, phone number, parcel ID, and email address.

What Information Can You Find in Nevada Property Records?

The following pieces of information typically show up when you conduct a Nevada property record search:

Liens
Deeds
Ownership records
Mortgage or loan records
Plat maps
Foreclosures
Building permit records
Zoning details
Easements and conveyances
Tax records
Boundary lines
Code violations
Property characteristics
Assessed values

Instant Access to Nevada Property Records

Property record databases managed by county offices in Nevada and commercial record services allow users to retrieve documents and information quickly, especially with the following search methods:

Address - Enter a street address to pull up ownership details, tax data, and recorded documents tied to that specific property.
Parcel ID - Each property is assigned a unique Assessor's Parcel Number, which, when used as the search method, locates the precise record being sought.
Owner's Name - Use the owner's name when tracking an individual's or entity's real estate holdings or verifying ownership across multiple real properties.
Zip Code - This is useful for broader searches, especially when checking neighborhoods, comparing values, or identifying multiple properties within a geographical area.

If you conduct a search with these parameters, you will typically find the following information, depending on which search method is used:

Owner Information - Owner's name and, in some cases, mailing address
Property Characteristics - Structural details, square footage, and lot size
Recorded Documents - Documents such as deeds showing how and when the property changed hands
Mortgage Information - Lender details, loan amounts, and release records
Building Permits - Approved repairs, construction, renovations, or additions
Property Tax Data - Assessed values, annual taxes, and payment status

Types of Property Records in Nevada

Nevada property records come in several distinct forms, each serving a different purpose.

Deeds and Conveyance Records

These are documents that show who truly owns a property. In Nevada, deeds and conveyance records document each transfer of property from one owner to the next. In other words, a deed transfers ownership. When a property is sold, gifted, or inherited, the deed formalizes that change and places it on public record through the County Recorder's Office.

While formats may vary by county, a typical deed in Nevada contains the following elements:

Names of the seller (or transferor) and the new owner
Legal description of the property
Consideration
Signature and notarization
Recording details

A deed is expected to meet certain standards to be accepted and recorded in Nevada. It must be signed by the grantor, properly notarized, and meet formatting and margin requirements set by the county recorder. Additionally, it must include a complete legal description of the property and be filed with applicable recording fees. Most transfers in the state require a Declaration of Value Form that discloses the sale price unless there is an exemption.

The following are the most common types of deeds used in Nevada real estate transactions:

Grant Deed - This is the most common in Nevada. It guarantees the seller has not already transferred the property to another party and that there are no undisclosed encumbrances created during their ownership.
Quitclaim Deed - This is often used between family members and to clear title issues. It transfers whatever interest a person has to someone else with zero warranties.
Trustee's Deed - Trustee's deeds are typically used in foreclosure situations to transfer property from a trustee to a new owner after a sale.
General Warranty Deed - A general warranty deed covers the property's entire history and offers the buyers the highest level of protection.
Special Warranty - This deed only covers the period the seller owned the property and guarantees the title is free from defects that occurred during their period of ownership. It provides limited protection.

Property Tax Records

In Nevada, property tax records document how a property is valued, what is owed in taxes, and whether the owner has kept up with payments. These records are managed locally. While the County Assessor handles valuation, the billing and collection of taxes are typically overseen by the County Treasurer. A typical property record includes current and past tax bills, assessed value and taxable value, exemptions, payment status, and tax rate.

Although tax rates vary by county and local tax districts, the average effective property tax rate in Nevada is approximately 0.50%, one of the lowest in the United States. However, the state uses a tax cap system. While residential property tax bills generally cannot rise by more than 3% per year, commercial properties are capped at 8%, even if market values jump significantly.

Property tax bills are typically issued annually but can be paid in installments, depending on the county. It is the responsibility of the property owner to pay these bills, but homeowners can pay indirectly through their lenders (mortgage escrow). Bills are typically issued annually but can be paid in installments, depending on the county.

A county has the right to place a tax lien on a property whose owner fails to pay their property taxes. If left unresolved for a long time, unpaid taxes can lead to a tax delinquency sale or other enforcement actions.

Property Liens and Encumbrances

Property liens and encumbrance are claims and legal interest in real property that can limit use, delay a sale, or redirect proceeds at closing. While liens are financial claims, encumbrances include any restriction or non-monetary interest affecting a property. They are both attached to property, not the owner.

Liens are tied to money owed, and they give a creditor a legal right to be paid from the property's value. On the other hand, encumbrances are broader. They include liens, but also non-financial interests like easements or deed restrictions that determine how the land can be used. Both are recorded with the County Recorder's Office in the jurisdiction where the property is located.

In Nevada, liens are classified based on how they are created, which are voluntary or involuntary liens.

Voluntary Liens - These are the liens property owners agree to. In other words, they are consensual security interests placed on property by the owner. The most common example is mortgage liens. When a buyer finances a home, the lender records a mortgage lien to secure repayment. Once the buyer pays off, a release is recorded to clear the lien.
Involuntary Liens - Involuntary liens are placed without the consent of the property owner. They are often imposed by law or courts due to unpaid debts. Here are the most common types of involuntary liens:
- Mechanic's Liens - These are filed by contractors or suppliers who were not paid for their services. Strict timelines govern when these liens are recorded and enforced in Nevada.
- Judgment Liens - These liens typically arise from court rulings. If a creditor wins a legal case, they can record a lien against the debtor's property to secure payment.
- Tax Liens - Tax liens are imposed by the county for unpaid property taxes.

Easements and Covenants

These are restrictions and rights that limit or shape how a property can be used. They are less about ownership but more about control. While easements and covenants are mostly mentioned together, they have slight differences.

An easement gives someone else the legal right to use part of your property for a specific purpose. However, this does not give them the right to claim ownership. It is typically a permanent or long-term permission slip tied to the land itself and recorded with the County Recorder's Office. The following are common examples of easements in Nevada:

Public Easements - Public easements include sidewalks or pathways where public access is permitted
Utility Easements - These include power lines, water pipes, or sewer systems running across a portion of the property.
Drainage Easements - These easements help to manage water flow, especially in areas prone to runoff or flash flooding.
Access Easements - Also known as the right-of-way, access easements allow a neighbor or landlocked parcel to cross your land to reach a road.

By contrast, covenants are restrictions placed on how a property can be used. They typically run with the land and are often created by developers, homeowners' associations (HOAs), or included in subdivision plans to maintain consistency and protect property values. Here are common covenants you will find in Nevada:

Use Restrictions - Use restrictions limit a property to residential use or prohibit certain business activities in a subdivision or community.
HOA Covenants - These are rules governing everything from exterior paint colors to parking and landscaping.
Architectural Guidelines - These are requirements for building style, height, or design features.

Plats and Surveys

Plats and surveys are essential land records that document property features and boundaries. While they are both mapping tools used to define property boundaries in Nevada, they serve different purposes.

Plats - A plat map is a recorded, scaled drawing that shows how a larger piece of land has been divided into smaller lots. It focuses on legal subdivision and contains lot numbers, block layouts, easements, street names, subdivision boundaries, and access points. When creating new neighborhoods or splitting land, developers typically file plats with the County Recorder's Office, which becomes a point for legal descriptions in deeds once recorded.
Surveys - These are detailed, on-site measurements by a licensed surveyor to show a specific property's exact boundary lines, structures, corners, encroachments, and markers.

A plat shows where a lot should be, but a survey shows its actual location. Both plats and surveys define boundaries and acreage, but at different levels of precision. While plats establish lot size and general dimensions within a subdivision, surveys confirm exact measurements and can uncover discrepancies.

Building Permits and Regulations

Building permits are proof that work such as new construction, an addition, or a major remodel was reviewed, approved, and inspected under local codes. In Nevada, these records can reveal contractor information and license details, scope of work, plan approvals, inspection results, date of issuance, final sign-offs, and completion date.

Permits are issued and tracked at the local level in the state. Unpermitted work can lead to complications during a sale. On the flip side, a clean permit record reassures buyers and lenders that the property meets Nevada's building codes. Building permit records help confirm whether renovations were done legally and provide a documented paper trail that can support resale value.

Although local processes can vary, the steps required to obtain a building permit in the state are as follows:

Identify whether the property falls under a city or county authority to determine where you will apply for the permit.
Prepare the necessary plans and documents. Typically, you will need construction plans and other basic drawings.
Submit your application to the local building department online through local permitting portals or in person. Be sure the application includes property details, project description, and contractor information, where applicable.
The city or county building department reviews your submission for compliance with zoning laws, safety codes, and structural standards.
Pay the required permit fees. These will vary depending on project size and complexity.
The permit is issued once the plans and application are approved.
Afterward, schedule inspections for key phases throughout the project execution. The project will receive a final approval or a certificate of occupancy after passing all inspections.

Property Descriptions and Boundaries

A property description is a precise way of defining or identifying land. In Nevada, legal property descriptions are commonly used in deeds and other recorded documents to describe a parcel's exact location and limits. The following lists the most commonly used methods of legally describing real property in the state beyond street address:

Metes and Bounds - This system uses directions, distances, and reference points to outline a property's boundary. It is common in rural or irregularly shaped parcels where standard grids do not apply.

Lot and Block System - Widely used in subdivisions, the lot and block method references a recorded plat map. It links a property directly to a filed subdivision plan within a county.
Natural Landmarks - Some older property descriptions in the state may reference physical features, such as mountains, rivers, trees, roads, or ridgelines. While less popular now, they still appear in historical records.
Public Land Survey System - This system divides land into townships, ranges, and sections based on a grid. It is precise and standardized, mostly used for larger tracts in Nevada's expansive rural areas.

In Nevada, legal descriptions come into play in several areas, including the following:

Utility companies use these descriptions to determine where lines, pipes, and easements can legally run.
Accurate boundaries help builders to ensure structures do not cross property lines or violate setback rules.
When neighbors disagree over fences or land use, the legal description can become the deciding factor in resolving boundary disputes.

Foreclosures

Every foreclosure activity is recorded and made public through county offices in Nevada. When a property owner falls behind on mortgage payments, the situation can move from delinquency to foreclosure. This process creates a trail of records that require close review during real estate transactions in the state. Foreclosure records are typically accessible through the County Recorder's Office and courts.

The early stage in the process is known as pre-foreclosure. After missed payments, a lender records a Notice of Default (NOD), signaling that the mortgage loan is in trouble but not yet lost. At this stage, the owner may still sell, refinance, or negotiate a resolution. However, if the debt is not resolved at pre-foreclosure, the process advances to a Notice of Trustee's Sale, and the property is scheduled for auction. This process is non-judicial in the state, meaning it happens outside of court, typically through a trustee.

Foreclosures in Nevada open up potential investment opportunities for real estate investors. Properties in distress may sell below market value, creating opportunities for buyers. Common investment opportunities include the following:

REO Properties - Bank-owned homes are typically listed with agents, offering a more traditional buying process. However, the competition can be strong.
Auction Purchases - Buying at trustee sales can yield discounts.
Pre-Foreclosure Deals - Investors sometimes negotiate directly with owners before the auction, helping them avoid foreclosure while securing a favorable price.

Understanding Property Ownership in Nevada

Beyond holding a title, ownership in Nevada is a layered record of rights, transfers, and legal protections that determine how property is conveyed and controlled.

Ownership History Records

An ownership record is a timeline of who has owned a property, how it changed hands, and under what circumstances the property was conveyed. It includes a sequence of recorded deeds and related filings showing the current owner, dates of each transfer, previous owners, recorded document number, and type of transfer. This means ownership records are created from recorded documents, which are typically filed with the County Recorder's Office in Nevada.

Here is how to track ownership in the state:

Start your search with the current or latest recorded owner by looking up their details online through searchable databases.
From the search, pinpoint the most recent deed and identify the current owner (grantee) and the prior owner (grantor).
Search backward through recorded deeds to build a continuous chain of ownership. Each deed points to the previous transfer.
Watch out for supporting documents. In some instances, you may need to check additional filings, such as affidavits, death certificates, or court orders to clarify how ownership changed. In addition to traditional sales, property may also transfer through gifts, inheritance, divorce settlements, and trust transfers.

What Is the Chain of Title?

The chain of title shows every owner, transfer, and recorded claim on a property linked together in a continuous sequence. In Nevada, this sequence is built from deeds and filings recorded with the County Recorder's Office. Each time a property is transferred from one party to another, the new deed recorded names the grantor (seller) and grantee (buyer). That deed identifies the previous owner, and each recorded transfer forms a traceable line through time. When the chain is unbroken, ownership is clear.

Examining the chain of title to confirm if it is accurate and free of problems is essential, especially during real estate transactions. This process is known as a title search, which helps to spot gaps in the ownership timeline, conflicting claims, recorded disputes, and undisclosed liens or encumbrances.

However, a title search may not identify every issue in the chain of title, especially those buried in older records or caused by fraud. This is why you need to get title insurance or ensure it is in place before a property sale closes. Title insurance protects the buyer's ownership rights after closing and safeguards the mortgage lender's financial interest. It covers financial loss or legal costs if a hidden defect in the chain of title surfaces after closing a property sale.

A clean chain of title is important in many ways in Nevada. For buyers, it guarantees they are purchasing a property without hidden claims. Similarly, for lenders, a clean chain of title ensures the property can serve as reliable collateral, as any uncertainty in ownership increases lending risk. Generally, a clear title reduces the chance of lawsuits, disputes, or competing ownership claims in the future.

Buying and Selling Property in Nevada

Buying and selling property in Nevada requires careful review of records that confirm exactly what is being sold or bought. Each record checked provides an insight into the property and helps the parties involved in a transaction make informed decisions. Property records are used in many ways during real estate transactions in the state. They are used for title review, ownership verification, confirming collateral for financing purposes, and closing transaction documentation.

The following are key records and areas you need to review before a property sale closes in Nevada:

Property Taxes - Examine current amounts, payment status, and any delinquencies that could become the buyer's responsibility.
Permit Records - Confirm that additions, remodels, or structural changes were properly permitted and inspected.
Liens and Encumbrances - Confirm whether mortgages, tax liens, or judgments are attached to the property. If they are, ensure they will be cleared at closing.
Fair Market Value - Compare assessed values, recent sales, and appraisal data to determine whether the listed price is fair.
Insurance History and Risk Factors - Check for past claims or location-based risks, such as flood zones.

Disclosure Requirements for Sellers in Nevada

Nevada Revised Statutes, Section 113.130, requires property sellers to make certain disclosures to potential buyers through a Real Property Disclosure Form. The disclosure must cover all known defects that materially affect the use or value of the property adversely, including the following:

Material Defects - Issues with HVAC systems, water source, problems with plumbing systems, past flood damage, and flash floods.
Environmental Hazards - Radon gas, mold, lead-based paint, asbestos, nearby sinkholes, past termite infestation, and other environmental damage, such as storm damage.
Code Violations - Homeowners' association (HOA) fees, lease restrictions, boundaries, any violations of zoning rules, liens, restrictions on property additions, construction breaches, and safety code violations.

Pools and water features must also be disclosed. State law mandates that all pools built after 2000 meet safety standards, including barriers and enclosures.

Why Property Values Are Important

Property values can influence how you price a real property, finance it, and challenge a tax bill in Nevada. It is largely determined by assessments and appraisals, which when conducted result in assessed values and appraised values, respectively.

Assessments - County Assessors establish a property's taxable value, which becomes the basis for your annual bill. To determine an assessed value in Nevada, the Assessor's Office estimates land value from market data and values improvements (the structure) using a replacement-cost-less-depreciation approach. Afterward, the combined figure is converted to a taxable value. Assessments directly affect what you owe in property taxes.
Appraisals - An appraisal is a licensed appraiser's estimate of a property's worth in the current market. Generally, appraisers consider location, recent comparables, condition, size, upgrades, neighborhood trends, and market trends to determine appraised values. Lenders use these values to decide how much they will finance during mortgage transactions. If a home appraises below the contract price, buyers may need to renegotiate or pay the difference out of pocket.

The following outlines how property values impact or influence loans, transactions, and taxes in Nevada:

Real Estate Transactions - While pricing decisions depend largely on market value, experienced buyers may still review assessments to estimate ongoing costs.
Taxes and Appeals - Property values directly impact taxes. If an assessment seems inflated relative to comparable properties, the owner can appeal it, which can potentially lower future tax bills.
Investment Decisions - Real estate investors compare rents, assessed values, and sale comps to evaluate yield and upside.
Mortgages - Appraised values determine loan-to-value (LTV) ratios. While a stronger appraisal can unlock better terms, a weak one can stall a deal.

Managing Property Records: Updates and Corrections

In Nevada, keeping property records accurate protects your legal rights and prevents unnecessary problems whenever you want to sell or refinance. Hence, when names change, ownership shifts, or errors slip into property records, it is important to correct or update the records.

Common errors range from misspelled names to incorrect legal descriptions. How these errors are fixed depends on the nature of the problem:

Clerical Errors - For minor errors, record a corrective document, such as a corrected deed or affidavit with the County Recorder's Office.
Recording Mistakes - If an error occurred during recording, the recorder's office may assist in resolving it. However, you still have to prepare and file formal documentation to get the mistakes corrected.
Legal Description Errors - If the property boundaries or description are wrong, you need to prepare a new deed with the accurate description and record it with the Recorder's Office. You may need to provide a survey to verify the correction in some cases.

Furthermore, life events such as marriage, the death of a property owner, and divorce also require formal updates to keep ownership records current. The following outlines how these updates are made:

Marriage - If a name changes after marriage, owners can record a document, typically an affidavit or updated deed, reflecting the new legal name.
Death of a Property Owner - After a property owner's death in Nevada, ownership may transfer through an affidavit of death for jointly held property, probate proceedings, or trust administration documents.
Divorce - Property transfers between spouses after divorce are typically handled through a quitclaim deed. The deed must be executed according to the divorce decree and recorded to reflect the new ownership.

Designated Offices for Property Records Update in Nevada

County Recorder's Office - The County Recorder's Office handles the recording of deeds, affidavits, and any document that changes ownership or corrects recorded information.
County Assessor's Office -This office updates ownership names for tax purposes after a recorded document is processed, ensuring tax bills are sent to the correct party.
District Courts - The District Court gets involved when updates stem from probate, divorce, or legal disputes. Orders from this court typically trigger the need for new recorded documents.

The Role of Local Government and Courts

The following local government offices and courts are responsible for managing property records across all Nevada counties:

County Recorder's Office - This office records deeds, mortgages, liens, easements, and releases, as well as other recording documents.
County Assessor's Office - The Assessor's Office determines taxable value, assigns parcel numbers, and maintains property characteristics and parcel data. This data integrates directly into the tax system and helps buyers determine baseline costs.
County Treasurer's Office - The Treasurer's Office bills and collects property taxes, tracks delinquencies, and enforces payment through liens when necessary.
Local Building Departments - The city/county building departments review plans, issue permits, and conduct inspections to ensure projects meet safety and zoning standards.
Courts - Courts intervene in real estate matters when legal issues arise. While the Civil Court handles disputes over ownership, boundaries, or contracts, the Probate Court oversees property transfers after an owner's death.
Planning Departments - Local planning offices determine how land can be used and enforce development rules like setbacks, density, and height limits.

How to Ensure Data Privacy for Property Records

Under the Nevada Public Records Act, local county offices make recorded documents accessible to anyone upon request. Accessible information may include property addresses, names of property owners, assessed values, tax status, recorded deeds, mortgages, legal descriptions, and liens. However, while most property records are public, details such as full financial account details, Social Security numbers (SSNs), and personal files in public records are restricted from public disclosure.

Openness in publicly available records can expose more information than many owners expect. While property fraud is not common, when it happens, it typically starts with publicly available information. A fraudulent lien or forged deed can cause complications if it goes unnoticed.

In Nevada, you can reduce the chances of becoming an easy target of property fraud by doing the following:

Monitor unexpected filings, such as unknown liens or ownership changes. Sign up for a title monitoring service for proactive tracking.
When preparing deeds or other property documents, avoid adding unnecessary personal details such as personal phone numbers or email addresses.
Review recorded property documents regularly by searching your name or property to see what is publicly visible. If something feels off, address it immediately.
List a business address or a mailing address instead of a home address in property-related documents where permitted.
If the county where the property is located allows redaction of sensitive data from recorded documents, request redaction.
