A new feature called PropertyCheck, in partnership with Cott Systems Inc., has been implemented to help protect residents from potential property and mortgage fraud. This is an enhancement powered by Cott Systems, Inc. in conjunction with the land-record recording software system that will alert property owners when documents are recorded in the Granby Town Clerk’s office. With a simple opt-in and personalized alert creation, users access this additional layer of protection against property fraud. The 24/7 service allows residents to sign up on the town’s website Granby-ct.gov to receive notifications when official documents are recorded on their property. Residents can activate alerts based on their name and/or property address. There is no cost to participate.
Property records in many states are made available for viewing online, which makes it easier to track recordings on your property, but it does require persistence and, in some cases, costs the taxpayer for access. PropertyCheck eliminates the time associated with searching on your name or property by alerting you via email or text message when a document has been recorded that matches the alerts that you activated. The Granby Town Clerk’s Office works in partnership with Cott Systems to offer this no-cost solution, helping residents feel safer about their properties and online security. Granby residents can sign up for PropertyCheck alerts at: https://recordhub.cottsystems.com
