  PHOENIX – Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer is pleased to announce the launch of Maricopa Title Alert, a free service to help residents stay informed of document recordings and protect against title fraud and other unlawful documents.
This tool will function similarly to Google Alerts and will allow users to monitor recordings containing the names – individual names or business names – entered by the user. When a recorded document contains the entered name, the user will receive an email at the end of the day with a link to the relevant document. This proactive measure allows user to monitor recordings and immediately tack action if necessary.
"I have heard from Maricopa County residents with concerns of title fraud. I’m hopeful that this tool provides a line of defense against fraudulent recordings, and generally provides more transparency into the millions of documents that we record," Recorder Richer said. "I am proud, and grateful, that the recording team here continues to innovate – we have other exciting recording developments that we will release later this summer. Stay tuned!”
Key Features of Maricopa Title Alert Include:
- Free Service: Maricopa Title Alert is free to all users.
- Easy Sign Up: Users can sign up in less than two minutes. All that is needed is a valid email address. The user can select alerts for multiple names under a single email.
- Business and Individual Monitoring: Users can monitor both personal names and business names.
- Email Notifications and Document Review: When a document is recorded that includes one of the entered names, Maricopa Title Alert will send an email notification with a link to review the recorded document. This enables users to promptly assess the content and take appropriate action, with law enforcement or otherwise, to protect their interests.

ABOUT US
The Maricopa County Recorder's Office is responsible for recording all documents required by law and making them available for public record. In August of 1999, the department began accepting documents electronically, which now constitutes over 92 percent of all filings. Today, the Recorder’s Office remains at the forefront of e-government, with nearly 200 million images available for viewing at any of our office locations as well as on the Internet—dating back to our first recording on June 5, 1871.
Additionally, the Recorder’s Office oversees the voter registration process, documentation, and administration for the County’s 2.5 million voters. It also plays an administrative role in overseeing early voting, all mail elections, and other election processes and administration. We are proud of the many awards and recognitions we have received while strengthening democracy and are considered by many to be the premier recording office and elections department in the country.
