The City of Martinsville highlighted on March 9, 2026 that local property owners can sign up for VADeed Alert, a statewide notification service designed to flag potential deed-record activity tied to their name, business, or tax parcel information.
City officials said the tool does not block filings, but it gives residents an early warning signal if unexpected land-record documents appear, giving owners time to contact the clerk's office and seek legal review.
For Martinsville and nearby Henry County households, the notice is a practical fraud-prevention item as spring real-estate activity ramps up and more filings move through local records systems.
The city framed enrollment as a low-friction safety step that complements existing record-keeping, especially for residents who do not routinely monitor deed activity.
