Ocean County To Hold A "Deed Room" Session Soon

Have you ever wondered how to use the deed room at the Ocean County Courthouse? Does it look like a confusing operation to find a deed, including your own?

It doesn't have to be. Ocean County Clerk Scott M. Colabella will host "Searching the Deed Room," a free workshop in the deed room at the courthouse at 118 Washington Street in Toms River.

The event will run from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on April 8.

To register, send an email to Colabella at scolabella@co.ocean.nj.us or call 732-929-2018.

Colabella and his staff will provide guidance on the available resources and how to search and find the deed and mortgage to your home.

“A lot of residents do not realize the information they have access to, or how to go about getting property records,” Colabella said. “I want to provide them with an opportunity to learn firsthand what is available and how to easily access information as well.”

Attendees also will be provided with information on how to register for the County Clerk’s new Property Alert Service which enables property owners to receive electronic notifications when documents pertaining to their property are recorded with the County Clerk.

Colabella said the workshop coincides with highlighting April as National County Government Month.

The Ocean County Clerk also offers a variety of other services including passports, notary, and veteran services.
