FraudSleuth

The Ashland County Recorder is introducing GovOS FraudSleuth–a free real property fraud alert system. After creating an alert record, you will receive email notifications anytime a document is recorded in your name.

Please be advised: Just because you receive an email notification doesn't necessarily mean it is fraudulent. There may be other people in Ashland County with the same name as you. If you receive and email notification and you are concerned it is fraudulent please call our office and we can help determine what was recorded and what property is involved. If it is deemed fraudulent we can then point you on to your next steps.
