Property Notification from the Register of Deeds
The Register of Deeds has worked with Logan Systems to set up a website to allow property owners in Alamance County to be notified by e-mail if a document is recorded in the Register of Deeds office that includes the name of the property owner. This document could be a deed that changes the ownership of the property. It could also be a deed of trust related to a mortgage that uses the property as security for a loan. There are also additional instruments that can be filed in the office related to your property.
The Register of Deeds is providing this service to assist the property owners in the County. Registration for this site is free. Please let your family and friends know that they can also sign up for the site. The Register of Deeds hopes that the existence of this site is a deterrent for future fraud and a tool that can mitigate the damage caused by fraud if it does occur.

Register of Deeds Announces Summary of Changes to Assumed Business Laws
The Alamance County Register of Deeds office announces that, effective December 1, 2017, there is a new form for a certificate of assumed business name. According to the North Carolina Secretary of State’s Office, the new blank forms may be downloaded from Business Link North Carolina (http://www.blnc.gov) under the Business Forms link. The easiest way to tell if you have the correct (new) form is that the new form does not have a section that needs to be notarized (the old form does). Any questions about the new forms or new requirements should be directed to the North Carolina Secretary of State’s Office as they are the agency that requested these changes. The office can be reached at 919-814-5400.
Your completed forms can be recorded at the Alamance County Register of Deeds’ Office Monday thru Friday from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm. The cost is $26.00. Only cash is accepted as payment.
Alamance County Register of Deeds Office kicks off its Thank a Veteran Program
The Alamance County Register of Deeds Office kicked off its Thank a Veteran Program on Tuesday, November 1, 2016. The program encourages veterans to record their discharge papers (DD 214) with the Register of Deeds Office.
Once recorded, the veterans receive a card with their photo on it. The card is recognized by participating Alamance County business owners who have agreed to offer the veterans a discount or an incentive to patronize their business.
The event was highlighted by refreshments and vendors from other county offices like the tax department, Veterans Services, the library, and Alamance Community College.
Its success was evident in the turnout (close to 100 discount cards were issued) and in the camaraderie amongst the veterans who were clearly happy with being recognized for the sacrifices they have made for their country.
The Thank a Veteran Program is a free, permanent program. Veterans can record their DD 214s and receive their discount cards between 8:00 am and 4:30 pm Monday through Friday, except holidays. Any questions from veterans or business owners wishing to participate can be directed to the Register of Deeds Office at 336-570-6565.
