Scott County, Indiana

Please be aware there have been several companies trying to sell homeowners a copy of their property deed for $86.00.

You can obtain a copy of your deed for $1 per page at your County Recorder’s Office. In most cases, a deed copy will cost no more than $2 or $3.

The document is entitled Deed Processing Notice and is a solicitation trying to scam homeowners. The notice looks official in its appearance and provides a deadline to reply or the fee increases by $35.00. In the notice, you will find a disclaimer in the fine print that this is a solicitation and you are under no obligation to pay the amount stated.

Please tell your friends and family this is a scam. Should you receive such a notice, please alert our office at (812) 752-8442 and the Indiana Attorney General’s office at (317) 232-6201.
