HB 524 North Carolina House · 2025-2026 Session

Fraud Detection Alert System.

HB 524 requires North Carolina's Register of Deeds offices to create an electronic fraud detection alert system. Property owners or businesses can enroll to receive email alerts within 24 hours when property documents (like deeds or mortgages) are recorded under their name or business title. The system must include an online portal for enrollment, allow monitoring up to five names per email, and send detailed notifications with recording dates and document details. Enrollees may be charged a reasonable fee covering system costs, but the Register of Deeds cannot be held liable for the system's operation.
