The Recording Activity Notification (RAN) system is a free service provided by the Citrus County Clerk of Court to help you protect your property from fraud.

According to the FBI, property and mortgage fraud is the fastest growing white-collar crime. Property fraud is when someone illegally uses your property for financial gain. An instance of this entails someone recording a fraudulent deed and/or lien against your property in the Official Records of the Citrus County Clerk's Office.

Although the alert system does not prevent the actual fraudulent activity from taking place, it does provide an early warning system for subscribers to become aware of what may have otherwise gone undetected. Subscribers armed with this notification system will be able to take prompt, appropriate action if they determine the activity to be fraudulent.
