How to Opt Out of PropertyRecs

PropertyRecs.com is a people-search and property records website that publishes detailed information about property owners, including names, addresses, home values, mortgage details, and tax records. If you own property, your information is almost certainly on this site. Here's how to remove it.

What Is PropertyRecs?

PropertyRecs is a property-focused data broker that aggregates public records from county assessors, tax collectors, and deed registries across the United States. The site allows anyone to search for property records by owner name, address, or parcel number.

The information PropertyRecs publishes typically includes:

• Property owner names (current and previous)
• Home addresses and property locations
• Property values and tax assessments
• Mortgage information including lender names and loan amounts
• Deed transfer history
• Property characteristics (square footage, bedrooms, lot size)

How to Opt Out of PropertyRecs

PropertyRecs offers a straightforward opt-out process that doesn't require identity verification. Here's how to do it:

Step 1: Find Your Record

1. Go to dashboard.propertyrecs.com/opt-out
2. Use the search tool to look up your property record
3. You can search by name, address, or other identifiers
4. Locate the record that matches your information

Step 2: Request Removal

1. Click "Remove my info" next to your matching record
2. Confirm your removal request
3. Your information should be removed from PropertyRecs' public-facing search results

The process typically takes a few days to complete, though some users report near-immediate removal from search results.

What PropertyRecs Removal Does — and Doesn't — Do

It's important to understand the limitations of opting out:

• Does: Remove your information from PropertyRecs' public search results
• Doesn't: Remove your information from the underlying public records databases (county assessor, tax records, deed registries)
• Doesn't: Prevent your information from appearing on other property search sites that pull from the same public records
• Doesn't: Guarantee your data won't be re-added if PropertyRecs refreshes their database from public sources

Other Property Data Sites to Opt Out Of

PropertyRecs is just one of many sites that publish property ownership data. To comprehensively protect your address and property information, you should also opt out of:

• PropertyShark — detailed property reports for real estate professionals
• Zillow — home value estimates linked to owner names
• Redfin — property listings with ownership history
• Realtor.com — public record property data
• CoreLogic — one of the largest property data aggregators
• County assessor websites — the original public record source

Protecting Your Address Long-Term

Property records are public information in the United States, which means removing your data from one site doesn't prevent it from appearing elsewhere. Data brokers continuously scrape public records to rebuild their databases.

Here are strategies to protect your address privacy:

• Use an LLC or trust: Purchasing property through a legal entity can keep your name off public records (laws vary by state)
• PO Box or mail forwarding: Use a PO Box for correspondence to avoid linking your home address to your identity
• Address Confidentiality Programs: Many states offer programs for domestic violence survivors, stalking victims, and other at-risk individuals that provide a substitute address for public records

For ongoing protection, PrivacyOn monitors over 100 data broker sites — including property records aggregators — and automatically submits removal requests when your information appears. This catches re-listings that inevitably happen as data brokers refresh their databases from public records sources.

With PrivacyOn's continuous monitoring, you don't have to manually check dozens of property sites every few months to see if your address has reappeared. The service handles it automatically, giving you lasting privacy protection for your home address.
