Property owners can now sign up for the new Recording Activity Notification System from King County
Summary
Property owners are invited to sign up for the free Recording Activity Notification System, which notifies subscribers any time a land records document associated with their property is recorded by the King County Recorder's Office.
Story
Property owners who want to keep a closer eye on document recordings associated with their property are invited to sign up for a new tool offered by the King County Recorder's Office.
The Recording Activity Notification System, also called RANS, is now available online at kingcounty.gov/recorder/recording-activity. This free electronic notification service will send an email to a subscriber any time a land records document matching the subscribed name is recorded. Subscribers can register their own personal name or their business name for monitoring. While RANS can't prevent property recording fraud, it can help keep property owners apprised of any land records filings associated with their name or parcel.
The entire process is self service, and subscribers can view and edit notifications for parcels after signing up. Property owners still have the option of searching for document recordings manually through the Online Records Search tool found at kingcounty.gov/recorder.
Subscribers will need the parcel number for each property they want to monitor. To look up parcel numbers, property owners can use the county's free Parcel Viewer tool at gismaps.kingcounty.gov/parcelviewer2 to search by address or condo name. Parcel numbers are also printed on the property tax statement that is mailed each February by King County Treasury Operations to owners who pay their property taxes themselves, rather than through a mortgage lender.
