COLORADO HOMEOWNER RESOURCE
Title Fraud Alerts
Many Colorado county recording offices offer free notices when a document is recorded under a name you monitor. Use this guide to find the official service for your county and understand what an alert can—and cannot—do.
AN EARLY-WARNING TOOL
Monitor recording activity connected with your name.
A county property or title fraud alert generally sends an email when a newly recorded document matches a name or property information you registered. The notice gives you an opportunity to review the recording and contact the county if you do not recognize it.
Because many systems match names rather than identity, an alert can concern a legitimate document or another person with a similar name. Register common name variations when the county service allows it, and always review the actual document before drawing a conclusion.
Use only official government links.
The links below lead to county government or county recording-system websites. County programs and URLs can change, so confirm instructions and eligibility on the destination site.

RESPOND CAREFULLY
What to do if you do not recognize a recording
- 01
Review the recorded document.
Use the county’s official records system to confirm the document type, recording date, names and property information.
- 02
Contact the county directly.
Use contact information published on the county’s official website—not a phone number or link supplied in an unsolicited message.
- 03
Ask the right professionals for help.
If the document appears unauthorized, consider contacting local law enforcement and a qualified Colorado real estate attorney promptly.
- 04
Protect related accounts.
If identity theft or a broader scam may be involved, review your financial accounts, credit reports and the statewide resources below.

IMPORTANT TO KNOW
An alert is helpful, but it is not title insurance.
Notification services do not prevent a document from being recorded.
They are monitoring tools, not a guarantee against fraud, a property “lock,” legal advice or a substitute for title insurance. Program coverage, matching methods and response procedures vary by county. Follow the county’s current instructions and consult an appropriate professional about your specific circumstances.
