Gratiot County Register of Deeds Kimberlee M. VanHoose is pleased to offer residents Property Fraud Alert service free of charge. This automated service will notify you within 24 hours if a document is registered in the Gratiot County Register of Deeds Office. Property fraud can occur when a person submits documents with your name on it making it appear as an ownership change when there has not been one. While this service will not prevent fraud from happening, it will help identify it quickly. It should be noted that to date the County Register has not identified any instances of this fraud within our county. Please note this is the same service advertised on the flyers accompanying your most recent tax bill. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to the Gratiot County register of deeds office at 989-875-5217.
