Wayne Clerk Fraud Alerts Are a Property Owner Tool

Wayne County owners can sign up for Clerk recording alerts. The system sends a notice when the Clerk records a document in the person’s name.

An alert does not prove fraud, and it does not replace title work. It can tell an owner, heir, or landlord when a deed, mortgage, lien, or other record appears under that name.

Keep the Wayne County Clerk fraud-alert information with the property record it protects. If an alert or recording raises a question, use the document number and property details when contacting the Clerk.
