According to the FBI, property and mortgage fraud is the latest growing white-collar crime. It can be as simple as someone recording a fraudulent document in the County Recorder's office, making it look as though they now own your home or property.

To address these concerns, the Perry County Recorder's office has teamed up to create a notification service that will help you combat the effects of land fraud and similar fraudulent activities.
