Larimer County residents need to be aware of current deed scam and unsolicited mailings disguised to look as if they are from a government agency.

Larimer County property owners who receive a mailer from a California firm Property Profile, Inc., [or any other company] stating they owe $95 to get a copy of the “Recorded Deed Notices” including a copy of the “Current Grant Deed” or “Other Record of Title” are encouraged to contact local law enforcement and disregard the notice.

During these difficult times in our community, scammers will prey on unsuspecting property owners with unsolicited official-looking mailers.

“The Larimer County Assessor’s Office never charges for a property assessment profile or to protest a property assessment,” said Larimer County Assessor Bob Overbeck. “We can give you that information for free, online, by phone or in-person at the Larimer County Assessor’s Office.”

Scammers have also been known to change forms to keep ahead of being discovered. Carefully examine any documents you receive in the mail, and contact the Larimer County Assessor’s Office with questions at [970] 498-7050, online at https://www.larimer.org/assessor or visit us at 200 West Oak St., Second Floor, Fort Collins, Colorado.
