Foreclosure Registration
PA 11-201 (§§ 13-15) makes changes in several laws affecting banking and housing, including foreclosure. Among other things, the Act requires anyone who commences a foreclosure action concerning a subject property to register the property with the Town Clerk in the municipality where the property is located. They must pay a land record filing fee and the municipality must maintain the registration separate from the land records. The act requires anyone taking title to a subject property after foreclosure to register with the Town Clerk within 15 days of absolute title vesting in person.

PropertyCheck
This exciting new element is an enhancement powered by Cott Systems, Inc., in conjunction with our land record recording software system, which will alert property owners when documents are recorded in the Granby Town Clerk’s office. With a simple opt-in and personalized alert creation, users access this additional layer of protection against property fraud. The 24/7 service allows residents to sign up to receive notifications when official documents are recorded on their property. Residents can activate alerts based on their name, and/or property address. There is no cost to participate.
Property records in many states are made available for viewing online which makes it easier to track recordings on your property, but it does require persistence and, in some cases, costs the taxpayer for access. PropertyCheck eliminates the time associated with searching on your name or property by alerting you via email or text message when a document has been recorded that matches the alerts that you activated. The Granby Town Clerk’s Office works in partnership with Cott Systems to offer this no-cost solution, helping residents feel safer about their properties and online security.
