[VIDEO] Registering for Deed Alerts in Oklahoma County

What Are Deed Alerts?

Deed alerts are notifications that you can set up to monitor any activity related to your property’s deed. This includes changes in ownership, liens, or encumbrances. By receiving alerts, you can stay informed and quickly address any suspicious or unauthorized changes to your property title. The information below is for setting up alerts in Oklahoma County only. 

Step 1: Gather Essential Information

To register your home for deed alerts, you’ll need to gather some essential information about your property. This includes:

1. Property address: You’ll need the exact address of your home.
2. Legal description: This includes information such as the lot number, block number, and subdivision name, which can be found on your property’s deed or tax records.
3. Assessor’s Parcel Number: This unique identification number is assigned to your property by the county assessor’s office and is often included in your property tax statements.

Step 2: Visit the Oklahoma County Clerk’s Alert Webpage

The Oklahoma County Clerk’s website is your go-to resource for registering your home for deed alerts. Here’s how to get started:

1. Open your web browser and visit the official Oklahoma County Clerk’s website. Here is the direct website address: https://alert.okcc.online
2. If this is your first time to register an alert, click the “register” button
3. Enter your name, email address, and create a password

Step 3: Complete the Registration Process

First, click “Add Property” and complete the information including the property address of the deed you wish to have monitored. 

NOTE: If your address does not come up in the regular search, click the button at the bottom that says “Advanced Search.” This will allow you to search your PID number (starts with an R) from your tax records/statements. Most single family homes can be found by address. 

If you have a condo or other property with a unit number, you may need to use the advanced search or call the County Clerk to register for your deed alert. The number is at the bottom of this blog post.

Next, click “Add Name.” 

Provide your name and select the way you would like to be alerted. You can choose text message, automated phone call, or email. 

Now, set up your alerts: 

Specify the types of alerts you want to receive. You can choose to be notified of changes in ownership, liens, or other relevant deed-related events. Ensure that your contact information is up to date so that you receive alerts promptly.

Step 4: Confirm Your Registration

After completing the registration process, you may need to confirm your email address or contact information to activate your deed alerts. Be sure to follow any instructions provided by the county clerk’s office.

Step 5: Manage Your Alerts

Once your deed alerts are set up, you can manage them through your online account. You can modify your alert preferences, add additional properties, or unsubscribe from alerts if needed.

Registering your home for deed alerts in Oklahoma County is a “fairly” straightforward process that can provide you with peace of mind and help protect your property rights. By staying informed about any changes to your property’s deed, you can take swift action if any irregularities arise.
