TRENTON, N.J. – Senator Robert Singer is spotlighting property alert programs in Ocean and Monmouth counties as he moves forward with legislation aimed at expanding homeowner protections across New Jersey.

The longtime Republican lawmaker said both counties “deserve credit” for their early recognition of property fraud risks and their commitment to proactive defense through online alert systems.

Singer said his bill, S-4751, would make those protections available to all homeowners across the state.


Key Points

  • Sen. Robert Singer is commending Ocean and Monmouth counties for early adoption of property alert systems.
  • His bill, S-4751, would require all New Jersey counties to implement similar fraud-prevention services.
  • Property alert programs notify homeowners when any document affecting their property is recorded.

Ocean and Monmouth lead the way

Singer said the two coastal counties serve as examples of how technology can safeguard residents against real estate scams and unauthorized filings. Both counties currently offer free property alert services that send notifications to homeowners whenever a deed, lien, or mortgage is recorded in their name.

The senator noted that the ability to detect suspicious filings early can prevent homeowners from losing significant sums or becoming entangled in lengthy legal disputes.

Plan for statewide protection

Under Singer’s proposed bill, county recording officers throughout New Jersey would be required to establish property alert systems similar to those already operating in Ocean and Monmouth. The statewide rollout would give all residents equal access to real-time notifications designed to catch fraud attempts before they escalate.

Singer encouraged homeowners in Ocean and Monmouth counties to continue using their existing systems and said he hopes other counties will soon be able to offer the same layer of protection.
