No free alert in Alabama has been verified into this directory yet. We add a county only after checking the recording office's own published source — so for now, this page gives you the next best thing: who keeps Alabama's land records, the exact question to ask them, and the self-check routine that protects you either way.

Alabama is the only state where land records sit with the Judge of Probate rather than a recorder or clerk — if you are looking for your deed, the probate office of your county is the door. Alabama has no statewide recording-alert mandate, and no Alabama county alert has been verified into this directory yet. That does not mean none exists: ask your probate office directly whether they offer recording notification, and run the deed self-check routine in the meantime.
None yet — and we would rather show an empty table than an invented one. New Alabama programs are added the moment an official source verifies them.
The Judge of Probate in each county (Alabama records deeds through its probate offices, a quirk no other state shares). That office — not a title company and not any website — is the only authority on its own records and its own alert program.
Yes. Every service in the table above is a government program offered at no charge by the recording office or its chosen platform. If a page ever asks you to pay to enroll in a county alert, you are on the wrong page — come back to the official link here.
No. DeedWatch is a directory and a guide. You enroll with the Alabama office or its platform directly, and that program — not us — sends the alerts. We never see your recordings.
Use the deed self-check routine: pull your own record on a set schedule, keep your tax mailing address current, and know the first steps if a filing ever surprises you. The Setup Kit writes the whole routine out, county by county.
The Setup Kit covers what a directory listing can't: enrolling every version of your name, every property in every county, the deed self-check, and the first-72-hours playbook. One $39 payment — the Alabama alert itself stays free.
