(The following information was provided by the Montgomery
County Recorder of Deeds Office.)
Montgomery County Recorder of Deeds Jeanne Sorg has announced her spring events which are scheduled throughout Montgomery County. Sorg will be taking the office’s Veteran’s Discount ID program on the road, as well as FraudSleuth — a free property fraud alert service — and Montco Roots: Family and Property History through Deeds presentation.
"I believe good government means making my programs and services easily accessible to the people,” said Sorg. "Taking these programs on the road has given me the chance to truly serve the constituents of this beautiful County.”
The Veterans’ Discount ID Program
Veterans are encouraged to record their military discharge paperwork — DD214 or NGB22 — with the Montgomery County Recorder of Deeds office. The documents are recorded in perpetuity on the office’s secure database.
Veterans who record their military discharge paperwork receive a Veterans’ Discount ID card, good for discounts at more than 650 business throughout Montgomery County.
Veterans should bring their military discharge papers and a photo ID, such as a driver’s license, with them to the event. The whole process takes only a few minutes.
FraudSleuth
FraudSleuth is a free property fraud alert service provided by the Recorder of Deeds office. Montgomery County property owners can register using their Parcel ID, which is the unique identifier for their property, and will receive e-mail alerts if a document is recorded at our office against the information included in their profile. Homeowners can join us at our mobile sign up events, or sign up for FraudSleuth right from our website, learn more here.
Montco Roots: Family and Property History Research through Deeds
During this program, Recorder Sorg will overview the types of documents that are recorded with the Recorder of Deeds office and demonstrate how to search the office’s online database for current and historical deeds and documents for property in Montgomery County. Historical documents contain a wealth of information about family relationships and property history.
