Requires county recording officer, in coordination with Motor Vehicle Commission, to establish alert service to notify participating property owners of recording of certain documents that affect the property.

This bill (S 3188) requires county recording officers (like county clerks or registers of deeds) to create a property alert service in partnership with the Motor Vehicle Commission. It directly affects owners of real property and manufactured homes by providing notifications within seven days when legal claims like liens, deeds, or other documents affecting their property are recorded. Property owners can voluntarily sign up to receive alerts via email or mail, with counties allowed to charge a $10 annual fee per property to cover service costs. The service aims to prevent fraud by alerting owners to recorded documents that could impact their property rights. The bill is pending before the Senate Community and Urban Affairs Committee.
