Duluth Superior, MN, September 23, 2026 — St. Louis County has introduced a new initiative aimed at safeguarding property owners from potential fraud. The St. Louis County Recorder’s Department has launched a service named ‘Property Watch,’ which is available to residents free of charge.
The ‘Property Watch’ service is designed to proactively alert property owners to any official activity concerning their real estate. Upon registration, participants will receive email notifications each time a document is officially recorded against their property.

The implementation of this service by the Recorder’s Department addresses growing concerns about property-related fraud. By providing a direct line of communication for recorded documents, the county aims to empower property owners with timely information to protect their assets.
Property owners interested in enrolling in the ‘Property Watch’ program have two convenient options for registration. They can complete the sign-up process online through the St. Louis County Recorder’s Department website or opt to register in person at any of the county’s Recorder’s offices. The specific details for online registration are available via the county’s official government portal.
