PRESS RELEASE

July, 6 2026 - Clarke County Circuit Court is pleased to announce a new service that is now offered called “Property Notification".  This website will allow citizens and property owners to register to be notified by email when the name that they register is included on a Deed Book document record in the Clarke County Circuit Court Clerk’s office.

The site can be accessed in three ways: 

* https://virginiapropertynotification.org/

* www.clarkecounty.gov  Clarke County Government website under Circuit Court

* www.clarkevacocc.org

The site allows residents and property owners to register their names and be notified by email whenever any document is filed in the office with that name.  In addition, it allows people to keep an eye-out for family members and receive a notification if any documents are filed with their names.  The email that is sent will contain the name matched, date of filing, and other identifying information relating to the document(s) recorded.

Relating to the property notification service, the Clerk, April Wilkerson stated, “We are pleased to offer this service free of charge to the residents of the County.  We hope that this new service will act as a deterrent to fraudulent activity in Clarke County.  If there is a fraudulent or otherwise inappropriate filing in our office, we hope that this timely notice to registered users will allow that fraud to be addressed quickly to mitigate any damages.”

The property notification service has been tested by the office staff and is now active and ready to use.
