Michigan's Register of Deeds offices record land documents, and a number of Michigan counties run Property Fraud Alert through Fidlar — Michigan was part of Fidlar's early county network. Verified Michigan counties are listed below; the rest are being confirmed against register pages individually rather than assumed from vendor lists.
Every row below was verified against an official county, court, or state source in October 2026. If a signup page has moved, tell us at help@doogex.com — corrections are folded into our quarterly re-check.

The Register of Deeds in each county. 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 Michigan 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 Michigan alert itself stays free.
