We want to alert you about a concerning issue affecting St. Johns County residents. Recently, fraudulent letters have been circulating, falsely claiming that there is a lien against your property. These deceptive letters aim to instill fear by suggesting that your home is at risk, and they propose various “solutions” such as entering a payment plan, lien release option, or selling your property.

DON’T BE MISLED! To safeguard yourself and your property, it’s crucial to take proactive steps. You can verify if any such records exist by using the official records search at: Landmark Web Official Records Search (stjohnsclerk.com).

We also strongly encourage all residents to sign up for free property fraud alerts offered by our office. Property Fraud Alerts are an electronic notification service that alerts a subscriber via email every time an Official Record document is recorded with a requested name in the St. Johns County Clerk of the Circuit Court and Comptroller’s Office. To register to receive property fraud alerts, please visit Recording Activity Notification (stjohnsclerk.com).
