Town of Big Flats

This coming Saturday, May 3rd, is [Wildfire%20Community%20Preparedness%20Day]Wildfire Community Preparedness Day, a day to complete projects that can help make your home safer from wildfire. Let’s Band Together and focus on the first five feet around our homes. Simple projects include: clearing dead leaves, needles and debris from roofs and gutters, removing anything flammable stored underneath your deck and moving firewood 30 feet away from your home. Do your part…at least make a small start. Remember, when it comes to reducing wildfire risk, small steps can make a big difference. Learn more here: Preparing Your Property | | Wisconsin DNR

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM THE COUNTY REGISTER OF DEEDS:

I wanted to reach out to the municipalities regarding property fraud alert. We know there has been a couple of incidents where individuals were trying to sell property they didn't own in Adams County. Fortunately our realtors are on top of it and managed to catch it before any documents were signed and recorded. This brings me to why I'm reaching out to you. I currently have a link on my county webpage ( https://www.co.adams.wi.us/departments/register-of-deeds ) for signing up for Property Alert. I would like to be able try to reach more individuals. I'm attaching a link to sign up for free for Property Fraud Alert for you to look into, as well as sign up if you already haven't. This does not prevent property fraud, but it will notify the person as soon as a document is recorded with their name. This is essential to notify our office as well as the local authorities. I would appreciate if you would consider putting this link on your website for an added service for your constituents and a little piece of mind. If you have any questions, please email me or give me a call.
