Recording Reminders
|
|
PIN Numbers are required on all documents except: NPC, general powers,
and financing statements of secured transactions with no real estate listed.
Mailed documents must have PINS certified by the Assessor’s Office prior to
mailing to the Recorder of Deeds Office. Please contact the Assessor’s Office
at (570) 825-1525 with any questions regarding PIN certifications.
Multiple papers constituting one transaction must be clearly numbered as to the
proper order in which they are to be placed on record. The document presenter
shall pay any re-recording expenses resulting from an improper order of documents.
Where there is no fee specified in the statutes, the fee shall be set by the Recorder
of Deeds.
Documents presented for recording with property in more than one municipality must
clearly state, in the document, the proportional share (in %) as to the division of the
Local Realty Transfer Taxes.
Recorder of Deeds will not accept more than ten (10) documents per check. The
office does not issue refunds. We can return your check for a new one or you can
forfeit the overage to the County.
When a deed transfer requires a Realty Transfer Tax Statement of Value, the
Recorder of Deeds requires one original and one copy (to be sent to the state).
All information is to be completed on the Statement of Value (i.e. school district,
assessed value, common level ratio), as well as, signed and dated by a person
connected with the transaction. The Statement of Value will be counted as a page,
as well as, any exhibits to be attached to the Statement of Value. The Statement of
Value and Exhibits will be included in the recording fees as $2.00 per page.
All deeds and mortgages require a signed, certified address of the grantee or
mortgagee for recording.
