Copy of Your Deed-BUY IT NOW

In a world of never ending scams, it appears one is targeting new home buyers stating they need to buy a copy of their "grant deed" for $83, unless you are late then they will charge you an additional $35.

You do not need a copy of your deed, it is on file at the county recorder's office. And by the way most of our deeds will be warranty deeds not grant. If you would like a copy you can get them directly from the county recorder's office for $1.

Evidently this scam solicitation has become so prolific it has prompted the Canyon County Assessor to post this on their website:  “Property owners do not need to have a copy of their deeds, which are on file at the Recorder’s Office. Uncertified copies may be downloaded and viewed by using the official Recorders Search on the county website. Hard copies can be (purchased) at the Recorder’s Office. Cost is $1 per page.”

I will warn all my new buyers at the closing table.
