Registering based upon Party Name
If you register to receive alerts based upon a Party Name, you will only be alerted when documents are filed that exactly match the Party Name you selected. The same Party’s name may be listed differently on different documents filed with the County Clerk’s Office. For example, the same individual may be listed as John Doe, John Doe Jr,. or John Doe II. Thus, subscribers are advised to register to receive alerts for each possible variation of a Party’s name to decrease their odds of missing a relevant alert. If a subscriber needs to verify that a Party Name matches a Party Name as it appears on previously recorded documents, please visit Erie County’s Official Records Search webpage
NOTE: It is possible that a document could be filed with the County Clerk that that is relevant to a property a subscriber has registered to be alerted about, but which does not include a S-B-L and/or Party Name. In such instances, the Property Alert Service would be unable to recognize the document as pertaining to the registered property and as a result on email alert notification will be sent to the subscriber. Subscribers are advised, when possible, to register both S-B-L and Party Names for property they would like to receive alerts for.
