Property fraud, including deed fraud and mortgage fraud, is a growing concern in Ohio. Scammers target properties, especially those with no mortgage or with paid-off mortgages, by filing fraudulent documents with the recorders’ office.
To protect yourself, monitor your property records, sign up for fraud alert notifications, and be cautious of unsolicited offers to purchase your property.

The links below take you to the official starting point for surrounding counties:

Butler County

Clermont County

Hamilton County

Warren County

….However, I found the easiest way to sign up for the alerts was to obtain my personal information from the Auditor’s Sites first and then sign up:

Butler

Clermont

Hamilton

Warren

Look up your name, and the following will appear:  Copy parcel number.
