Lancaster County Recorder of Deeds: Search Deeds, Mortgages, Satisfactions and Historical Land Records
The Lancaster County Recorder of Deeds records and
maintains deeds, mortgages, mortgage satisfactions, mortgage assignments,
easements, leases, land plans, restrictions, rights-of-way, powers of
attorney and other public real-estate documents for Lancaster County,
Pennsylvania.
Lancaster County now uses a modern
Tyler Self-Service public-record portal for its main
Recorder search. Historical researchers also have access to the Recorder’s
older IQS Infodex resources and deed/index images
extending back to the formation of Lancaster County in
1729.
Best beginner route:
if you know the owner or former owner’s name, open the current Recorder
search → accept the county disclaimer → search every reasonable spelling
variation → narrow the results with the transaction period or other
document information available in the portal → open the likely recording →
compare the parties and property information → save the exact recording
reference before ordering or relying on a copy.
SEARCH
Owner, former owner or known recording reference.
VERIFY
Open the actual document—not just its index row.
SAVE
Keep instrument/book-page references for later research.

How to Search Lancaster County Deeds Online
Lancaster County’s main Recorder portal is the
Tyler Self-Service system.
The county warns that its online index works like a
library card catalog: it helps you locate the referenced
document, but the index itself should not replace reading the actual
recorded instrument.
Open the official Recorder portal above.
Confirm the page says Lancaster County Recorder of Deeds.
Read and accept the disclaimer.
The county explains that online index data can change and should be
treated as a guide to the underlying document.
Start with the strongest known party name.
Search the current owner, seller, buyer, estate, trust or business
associated with the transaction.
Try spelling variations.
Lancaster County specifically advises users to search all possible
name variations to maximize results.
Use transaction-date or document clues when available.
A purchase year, refinance year or known recording reference can reduce
same-name results.
Open the likely index result.
Read the actual recorded image.
Verify grantor/grantee names, property location and document type.
Save its exact recording reference.
Keep the instrument number and/or book-page information shown by the system.
Follow referenced prior documents when researching ownership history.
Do not rely only on the search-result row.
Lancaster County explicitly describes the index as a guide to the
underlying document. Open and read the deed before using it for important research.

Historical deed records since 1729
How to Research Old Lancaster County Deeds

What If an Old Lancaster County Deed Was Never Recorded?
Lancaster County Archives maintains an
Unrecorded Deed Index.
The county explains that some eighteenth- and nineteenth-century deeds
were never brought to the Courthouse for recording, while others were
recorded decades—or even more than a century—after they were originally made.
Search the normal Recorder deed indexes first.
If the expected transaction is missing, open the Unrecorded Deed Index.
Search both Grantor and Grantee indexes.
Check whether the index shows a later recorded date.
If a later recording exists, return to the Recorder system.
This is especially useful for researchers working on an old farmhouse,
historic residence, family property or eighteenth/nineteenth-century
chain of ownership.
Mortgage payoff research
Paid Off Your Mortgage? Search for the Satisfaction or Release
A deed proves an ownership conveyance. A mortgage is a separate
recorded document.
When a mortgage is paid, the important later record is generally a
Mortgage Satisfaction or Release of Mortgage,
not a replacement ownership deed.
Search the homeowner’s name.
Locate the original mortgage.
Save its instrument or book/page reference.
Search later records.
Look for Mortgage Satisfaction or Release of Mortgage.
Open the actual document.
Confirm it refers back to the correct mortgage.
Lancaster County requires documents referencing a mortgage to state
the mortgage’s book/page or instrument number.
Lancaster County also publishes blank
Satisfaction of Mortgage, Assignment of Mortgage and Release of Mortgage
forms on its official Recorder Forms page.
Do not confuse Recorder documents with all possible liens
How to Check Lancaster County Property Liens
Recorder research can reveal mortgages, assignments, releases,
easements and other land-record documents, but Lancaster County’s
Prothonotary separately maintains civil judgments and
several types of liens.
Recorder of Deeds
Deeds, mortgages, satisfactions, easements, assignments, restrictions
and other recorded real-estate instruments.
Prothonotary
Civil judgments plus mechanical, municipal, county, state and certain
federal income-tax liens.
Search current and former property owners in Recorder records.
Review relevant mortgage/lien-type documents.
Search for later satisfactions or releases.
Search Lancaster County civil records when judgment liens matter.
Check tax-claim records for delinquent real-estate tax issues.
CIVIL
Lancaster County Prothonotary
Judgments, civil liens, mortgage foreclosures and civil court records.
Open Prothonotary
A Recorder search is not a complete title examination.
A title company or Pennsylvania real-estate attorney should review the
complete chain when ownership, lien priority or marketable title matters.

transfer-tax or multi-document transaction.
Pennsylvania Realty Transfer Tax
Lancaster County Realty Transfer Tax
Pennsylvania currently imposes a
1% state Realty Transfer Tax on taxable transfers of
real estate.
A local Realty Transfer Tax is also generally due. Pennsylvania’s
Department of Revenue describes the ordinary local rate as
1%, with higher rates in some localities.
1%
Pennsylvania
Current statewide Realty Transfer Tax rate.
Local
Municipality / School
Verify the exact local rate for the property’s jurisdiction.
Do not automatically assume every Lancaster County deed has the
same total transfer-tax percentage.
Identify the correct municipality and school district before calculating
the final local amount.
Lancaster County maintains a current
District Codes / Municipalities / School Districts
directory. This is particularly useful when a postal Lancaster address
actually lies in a surrounding township.
Statement of Value
When Does Lancaster County Require REV-183?
Lancaster County’s current recording instructions require transfer taxes
and/or a Realty Transfer Tax Statement of Value with
transfers unless the applicable exemption is clearly stated in the deed
in a manner accepted under Pennsylvania rules.
The county also states that a fully completed Statement of Value
counts as a page when calculating the document page count.
Lancaster County also requires a Statement of Value with
easement agreements, and the Statement is included in
the page total.
A family, trust, estate, business or nominal-consideration deed can have
complicated transfer-tax treatment. Do not select an exemption merely
because no money changed hands.
What If Property Lies in More Than One Municipality?
Lancaster County requires documents affecting property in more than one
municipality to state the division of local Realty Transfer Tax.
The county specifically directs filers to state the percentage allocated
to each municipality in whole numbers.
Before recording a multi-municipality parcel, verify the municipal
boundaries, school districts and transfer-tax allocation rather than
calculating tax only from the postal mailing address.
Corrective and re-recorded instruments
How Does Lancaster County Handle a Corrected Deed?
The Recorder’s current requirements distinguish a corrected/re-recorded
document from simply editing an online index.
Find the original recorded deed.
Save its instrument or book/page reference.
Determine whether a new corrective or confirmatory instrument is appropriate.
This is a legal-document question; obtain professional advice when needed.
Prepare a new acknowledgment.
Lancaster County requires re-recorded documents to have new acknowledgments.
Explain why the document is being re-recorded.
For a corrective/confirmatory deed, include the required Statement of Value.
Attach a complete copy of the old deed being corrected or confirmed.

When Should You Contact Lancaster County Archives?
Recorder deed research and County Archives research overlap, but they
are not identical services.
Use the Recorder for
Recorded deeds, mortgages, satisfactions, easements, restrictions,
current land-record images and certified Recorder copies.
Use Archives for
Broader historical indexes, genealogy, house history, old county
records and special historical collections.
Archives staff state that they cannot perform open-ended research for
you. Give them a specific name, time frame, record type and any reference
you already found in the online indexes.

10 Lancaster County Recorder questions
Lancaster County Recorder of Deeds FAQs
1. How do I search Lancaster County deeds online?
Open Lancaster County’s current Tyler Self-Service Recorder portal,
accept the public-record disclaimer and search using the strongest
known owner, seller, buyer, estate, trust or business name. Try
reasonable spelling variations because the Recorder specifically
recommends doing so. Open the likely result and read the actual
recorded deed rather than relying only on the index entry.
2. How far back do Lancaster County deed records go?
Lancaster County says deeds began being recorded on May 10, 1729,
when the county was formed. Digital images of historical deeds and
deed indexes since 1729 are available through Recorder resources.
Researchers can also use IQS Infodex, Lancaster County Archives
historical indexes and the county’s Unrecorded Deed Index.
3. How do I find a Lancaster County deed if I only know the property address?
Start with Lancaster County’s current Property Tax Inquiry or LanCo View
property-search tools. Find the correct parcel, current owner,
parcel/account number and municipality. Then take the owner’s legal name
and other property clues to the Recorder’s Tyler public-record search
and open the matching recorded deed.
4. How much does it cost to record a deed in Lancaster County PA?
Lancaster County’s current live fee page lists a base fee of $71.25
for recording a deed or mortgage of up to four pages. Each additional
page after four is currently $2. The Recorder warns that its older
2025 fee bill does not reflect the newer JCP increase, so use the live
Select Fees page when calculating the final amount.
5. What should I search after paying off a Lancaster County mortgage?
Search for a Mortgage Satisfaction or Release of Mortgage instead of
expecting a new ownership deed. First locate the original mortgage and
save its instrument number or book/page. Then search later Recorder
filings and verify that the Satisfaction or Release references the
correct original mortgage.
6. How much does a Lancaster County deed copy cost?
The Recorder’s current fee page lists ordinary copies at $0.25 per
page, certification at $10 and a separate $5 service charge among its
miscellaneous fees. Because the total for a specific certified or
staff-processed request can depend on the service requested, call the
Recorder at 717-299-8238 before mailing payment.
7. Does a Lancaster County deed need a Statement of Value?
Lancaster County requires transfer taxes and/or a Pennsylvania Realty
Transfer Tax Statement of Value with transfers unless the applicable
exemption is clearly stated and accepted under the governing rules.
The Recorder also states that a completed Statement of Value counts
as a page when calculating the recording page total.
8. What is Lancaster County Fraud Notify?
Fraud Notify is available through Lancaster County’s current Recorder
public-access system. After creating and verifying an account, users
can add individual names, entered last name first, or business names
to their monitored alerts. The system can help surface new matching
recordings, but an alert does not by itself establish that fraud occurred.
9. Can Lancaster County deeds be electronically recorded?
Yes. Lancaster County says it has used electronic recording since
2002 and that more than 90% of its documents are now e-recorded.
The Recorder currently supports Simplifile, CSC and EPN. Barring
scheduled closings or unusual circumstances, documents electronically
submitted by 4:30 p.m. are recorded the day they are received.
10. Where is the Lancaster County Recorder of Deeds office?
