Officers Can't Verify Ownership

When police respond to a squatting complaint, they have no field tool to verify who actually owns the property. They must tell both parties "it's a civil matter" and leave. The legitimate owner is left helpless while squatters remain in their home.

Massive Financial Burden

Property owners spend an average of $45,000 in legal fees to evict squatters through the court system. The process takes 6+ months, during which the property is often damaged or destroyed. Neighborhoods deteriorate.

Quality of Life Destruction

Squatters in a neighborhood destroy quality of life for everyone. Property values drop, crime increases, and legitimate residents feel unsafe. It's not just a property issue — it's a community safety issue.

Outdated Record Systems

Maryland's property records are managed by SDAT using systems designed decades ago. Records are siloed, slow to access, and vulnerable to fraud. Deed theft through forged documents is a growing threat.

The Solution

Instant Verification. Immutable Records.

QScan is a blockchain-based property verification system that puts ownership data at the fingertips of law enforcement. Every registered property gets a tamper-proof QR sticker. Officers scan it with their phone and instantly see the verified owner, registration status, and title lock details.

2-Second Verification

Scan the QR sticker → see the owner. No calls, no databases, no waiting.

Blockchain-Secured Records

Property records stored on Ethereum. Can't be forged, altered, or deleted.

Title Lock Protection

Escrow smart contracts lock titles, preventing unauthorized transfers or deed theft.

Landlord Integration

Rental properties show landlord contact info and lease status for immediate police reference.

Operations Flow

From Registration to Verification

Four steps. Two seconds. One scan. Here's how QScan protects property owners and empowers law enforcement.

01

Property Registration

Property owner or county registers the deed on the blockchain via QScan. A unique QR sticker is generated and affixed to the property.

02

QR Sticker Placement

The tamper-evident QR sticker is placed on the property's door frame or visible location. Each sticker has a unique serial number linked to the blockchain record.

03

Officer Scans in Field

When responding to a dispute, the officer opens QScan on their phone, points the camera at the QR sticker, and gets instant results.

04

Instant Verification

The system queries the blockchain and displays: verified owner name, property address, registration status, title lock status, and landlord contact (if rental).

Records cannot be forged, altered, or deleted. Smart contracts enforce title locks and escrow agreements automatically.

Legislative Alignment

Built for SB 168 / HB 810

Maryland Senate Bill 168 and House Bill 810 direct the State Department of Assessments and Taxation (SDAT) to study the use of blockchain technology for recording property deeds and titles. QScan is the working solution that answers this mandate.
