How it works in Missouri

Missouri illustrates the fragmentation this directory exists to fix: dozens of recorder offices deliver their free alert through the iCounty Notification Service portal (a separate service that lives at deedwatch.com — not us; our site is getdeedwatch.com), while others, like St. Louis County, use Fidlar's Property Fraud Alert. St. Louis County, the City of St. Louis, and Jackson County are verified in the table below, each with its actual platform named.

Missouri questions, answered straight

Who keeps land records in Missouri?

The Recorder 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.

Is the alert in Missouri really free?

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.

Does enrolling mean DeedWatch monitors my deed?

No. DeedWatch is a directory and a guide. You enroll with the Missouri office or its platform directly, and that program — not us — sends the alerts. We never see your recordings.

What if my Missouri county has no alert?

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 Missouri alert itself stays free.
