You may do your recording by mail; however, you should make sure the documents meet all legal requirements and
that you have proper checks enclosed, made payable for the correct amounts.
Note that Deeds, Mortgages, Satisfaction Pieces,
UCC forms, General Powers of Attorney, Veterans papers, Notary Commissions,
copy requests, etc. should come directly to the Recorder's Office.
REQUIRED:
All documents relating to real estate in Bucks County are required to show the Tax Parcel Number.
All Documents must conform with the PRIA STANDARDS.
PLEASE NOTE
All checks must be payable to Recorder of Deeds.
The Recorder of Deeds now requires only ONE CHECK to the Recorder of Deeds.
When a deed conveys property in more than one municipality it is required to state what portion of the total value is credited to each taxing body.
Blanket documents cannot be accepted for recording.
Please note that when you are recording an Electronic Deed that requires a SOV and you attach additional pages, such as a Trust Agreement, Mortgage & Assignment (Deed in Lieu) there is a $1.00 per page copy fee added to your receipt. We need to print these pages (for the Department of Revenue) and then delete them from the public record. If you like you can mail these in and thereby save these additional fees.
