Land Records
NEW: VA Deed Alert Notification Program
VA Deed Alert allows residents to receive electronic notifications whenever a document is recorded in the local land records (York County and Poquoson) that matches the name(s) established with their account. These alerts can notify users of potentially fraudulent activity, such as unauthorized deed transfers or filings. This program does not prevent documents from being recorded, nor does it validate the legality of a filing. This is an after-the-fact notification system, meaning the document has already been recorded and cannot be “unrecorded.” However, it does provide property owners with timely notice so they may take appropriate legal action if an unauthorized or unexpected property transfer occurs.
Please click the link to the VA Deed Alert site to establish an account. The account you create may include up to ten (10) variations of names you wish to be monitored. The system will search for those names, and if a match is found, the user will be notified by email. Please note that the search begins on the date the account is created and is not retroactive. Enrollment is quick and can be completed online in just a few minutes.
