Crook County launches free property recording alert service

CROOK COUNTY, Ore. (KTVZ)-- The Crook County Clerk’s Office has announced a new tool to help property owners monitor their land records and protect against potential fraud.

The Property Recording Alert Service, or PRAS, is a free system that sends automated email notifications whenever a new document is recorded under an enrolled name. Each alert includes a link to view the document details and information on how to obtain a copy of the record.

The clerk’s office says PRAS is designed to improve transparency, protect ownership, and provide early warnings if fraudulent documents are filed. The system offers same-day notifications, enhanced monitoring for accuracy, and more concise data in each alert.

Property owners can sign up through the Crook County Clerk’s Office.
