Your home is one of your most important assets, and staying informed about activity involving your property is an important part of protecting it.
Fairfax County offers a free Property Alert System that notifies property owners when official changes are recorded on their property. These alerts can help you stay aware of unauthorized transfers or other potentially fraudulent activity and give you early awareness if something involving your property needs your attention.
Benefits include:
Free alerts when official changes are recorded on your property
Greater awareness of activity involving your home
Help monitoring for unauthorized transfers or potentially fraudulent activity
Secure management of alerts through DTA’s MyFairfax portal https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/myfairfax/portal/ffx-index.jsp
I’m sharing this resource because protecting your home goes beyond the transaction. Staying informed is a simple, no-cost step you can take to help safeguard your property.
If you own property or know someone who does in Fairfax County, I encourage you and/or them to take advantage of this valuable service and share it with other homeowners who may benefit.
