Recorder warns of scams

Greene County recorder Deb McDonald asks residents to be cautious if they receive a piece of mail asking  if they want a copy of their deed and property assessment. Recorder’s offices across the state have received phone calls from concerned citizens about letters they received saying there was “deed activity recorded in public record” and that they should obtain a “current property grant deed and assessment”. 

The company, Record Transfer Service, is charging $83 for the service. Anyone receiving this notice should not be alarmed or feel that it is necessary to respond to it. 

“A copy of a deed can be obtained at the recorder’s office for a few dollars in copy fees,” said McDonald. Persons who have questions can contact the recorder’s office at 515-386-5670.
