Fairfax County supervisors are encouraging homeowners to sign up for a new property alert system administered by the Fairfax Circuit Court Office.
The free service for Fairfax County and Fairfax City residents sends an email alert if any documents are filed on their real estate record with the court. The system, similar to others rolled out across the region, is designed to reduce the potential for title fraud.
The Fairfax County Circuit Court is now offering an online education hub for students and other Fairfax County residents interested in the local court system and its history to explore.
Officially launched last Wednesday (June 17), the Judicial Learning Center of Fairfax County is the first resource of its kind provided by any state trial court in the U.S., according to Fairfax Clerk of Court Chris Falcon.
After an extended hiatus, the Fairfax County Circuit Court will bring back its satellite services next month. This time, however, the pop-up will focus on the southern side of the county instead of the north.
The satellite site will provide select court services at the Gerry Hyland Government Center (8350 Richmond Highway) in Woodlawn from 9 a.m. to noon on the second Tuesday of every month, starting April 14.
