Marion County Assessor Drew Sanders is warning citizens of a solicitation involving property deeds.

Sanders says citizens are receiving letters from companies offering to provide them with electronic copies of deeds, assessment records, and other property paperwork for extraordinary fees. He says one company he’s heard of as part of the solicitation is asking for $83 for the information when a person can go to their assessor’s office and obtain the same information through the county for $.25 cents a page for a two-to-three page document.

Sanders says if you have any questions regarding property paperwork you should stop by the Marion County Recorder’s Office located in the Marion County Courthouse in Knoxville.
