When Scott Crowley was running for the office for the Hamilton County Recorder in 2020, he pledged to do something about the rise of Property Fraud in Hamilton County. Nothing was in place to help safe guard property owners in Hamilton County, Ohio. Upon winning and taking office January 1, 2021, on his first day, he instructed his Chief of Staff and IT Director to find a way to combat this problem. This was the beginning of implementing a Recording Notification Service to protect your property against Property Fraud. After a successful custom installation and back testing, the program was rolled out to the public in April of 2022. The outcome was well received. Individuals can sign up for free and have the peace of mind that someone is watching out for them. Hundreds of individuals have signed up for this service. The first use of a QR code at the Hamilton County Recorderâs Office was associated with this program.
