Consumer Alerts

Consumer Alert!

There are companies offering to provide homeowners a Certified Copy of their deed for a cost of $83.00.

Please Take Note: You can print a FREE copy of your deed from our website or contact our Customer Service Department by calling 617-679-6300 or emailing us.

Customer Beware!

It has come to our attention that National Grid customers are being contacted by telephone by individuals who claim to be from National Grid and demand payment on their utility bill. They also demand over the phone payment to replace your old meter with new smart meters and threaten customers with service termination within hours if phone payment is not made immediately.

Consumer Notification Service

 

Customer service is our top priority at the Southern Middlesex County Registry of Deeds. The Southern Middlesex County Registry of Deeds is proud to offer a free notification tool, which alerts homeowners when a new document is recorded in their name. If you own real estate in one of the four cities and towns in Southern Middlesex County, you can subscribe to this service, free of charge.

Please note that our notification system queries records by name and not address. Because of this, you may receive alerts about other people with the same name. If you have any questions about this service, please contact the Registry. If you believe a document has been recorded fraudulently in your name, please contact the Southern Middlesex County Registry of Deeds at (617) 679-6300, and one of our customer service specialists will look up the record for you. All victims of fraud should contact local law enforcement authorities.

<< Note: Please Allow 3 to 4 minutes for the system to respond when logging into an existing account or creating a new account. If you have any problems or questions about filing, contact the Registry directly at the number listed here >>
