Sumter county site for home Title status

[villagetinker]

I found this site, by Sumter County, that will inform of changes to the status of your home title. This should be very effective to stopping someone from filing false title claims.

I came across it a few years ago. Hopefully it does work if someone tries to gain access

They have it for Sumter County and Lake County, but the last time I checked, they did not have it for Marion County.

We had it on all 3 houses in TV, in Sumter for more than 3 years. I believe Don Wiley (Goldwing nut) had the information on one of his informative videos, that many of us hope can continue.

You can be contacted, by phone, text, email, or all three. Two of our homes were being sold, at the same time as construction started for the pool at our new build. There is definitely a lag time from documents filed, between text, call, and email. One sold house was a week, the other 11 days, but there was a federal holiday at that time.

Since we had the knowledge two of the homes were closing, there was no surprise, but had to call to see which of the 3 homes I had to receive the notification. If I were doing this again I have only one name for contact on each house, using just their phone and email per home. I registered both of our names, same email, and only one phone # on all three.

One document filed for lien on the new pool build there was no contact from Sumter for 5 weeks after filing. But one that was just intent to file (no lien applied, just paperwork) was within 3 days.

That I found a little disturbing, a true lien took so long for notification, compared to paperwork for intent, but no lien filed. That paperwork expires at 6 months, basically just goes away.

The lien however will have official documents signed by the company, releasing the lien on your home when monies are paid. Please be aware any contractor, can file a lien on your home, and may be in the paperwork you are signing. Our two companies were up front that this paper was for intent and the lien, explaining the process

Thanks, did that a few years ago...

This is not a county owned web site.

Note that Marion County now has a similar alert service to Sumter and Lake. Go to:

MCPA Home (http://www.pa.marion.fl.us)

And click on the property alert service under what's new at the bottom.

I signed up for this a couple of years ago when they set it up and it works. When I had a permit pulled for my lanai I got a notification from this system.

One list I am glad to be listed on

Correct many have used this resource for years. But.. sometimes newer residents wouldn’t know to search for those old threads.

Some information is worth repeating. Especially for information that even landscapers can file, intent on your property. Anytime one seeks quotes check the website.

It's a private, for-profit company "Fidlar Technologies". It's NOT a County (aka government) website.

It says so near the bottom of the page.

It probably does provides the service promised... but what else? How do they make money? Use at your own risk.

Marion County also offers this service, or something similar. < https://nvweb.marioncountyclerk.org/PropertyAlert/>

I didn't see the costs of enrolling in the program and Googled with this result "The Sumter County Property Fraud Alert program, a free service provided by Fidlar Technologies, has no cost for subscribers."

I checked it out and it appears the State of Florida has contracted with FIDLAR technologies out of Davenport, Iowa to provide monitoring services for the Land Records Management System. Thanks for the tip.

Just curious. Why did you feel the need to say this?

[MrFlorida]

The sight only asks for your name and email address, not much of a trap.

I signed up a few years ago. It works. I received a report when my roofer filed the notice of lien (routine before doing the job) in case we didn't pay.

[biker59]

I just checked. The link and the website to which it brings me only registers your name, not the title on your property.

Actually - this is ineffective and a waste of tax dollars. By the time you know your title has been compromised, the bad guys have already re-mortgaged the property and re-titled it. The cheapest and best & cheapest way for govt to protect title holders is to require 2 forms of id and and fingerprint - but the government wokesters don't listen to cheap and efficient ways of doing things.

Isn't this the mortgage company's loss? I would NEVER pay money on a mortgage that I didn't sign for.

The headache of proving you didn't sign while they are foreclosing on your home is the problem. Your credit score will also be trashed.

I don't care about my credit score because I don't borrow money. Apparently, there is no effective way to prevent someone from forging your name. But, in the end, it would be the mortgage company's loss because there is no way that I would ever pay for a loan that I didn't make.

We agree, in the end it would be their loss. Until then though, you will have to do the work to demonstrate that while they are foreclosing on your home.

I'm with you, I wouldn't pay on it either but the hassle factor is very high.
