FAQ
Homeowners can sell properties with liens. For a buyer to take possession of the property, the seller will need to clear title and satisfy all outstanding liens.
The department files liens in the county Prothonotary's Office where the taxpayer resides or does business. Liens, along with most other court records, are public documents.
How can I obtain information on a property/copy of my deed? You may research or request a copy of a property in our public Reference Room located in City Hall, Room 154. Copies of deeds are $2.00 per page.
How can I check for liens against my property? Except mortgages, most liens are filed in the Prothonotary's office, not in the Recorder of Deeds Office. You can check with them for liens filed against you there.
All papers recorded in the office are public information, with the exception of military discharge papers. This means anyone can come in and look at any deeds or mortgages.
In Pennsylvania, lien rights extend to general contractors, subcontractors and sub-subcontractors (contractors and suppliers who have a direct contract with subcontractors). A notice of intent to lien to an owner is due 30 days before the Lien Claim is filed for subcontractors and sub-subcontractors.
The lien will stay in effect for five years, but can be renewed, if the debtor does not sell the property within that time period.
This means that liens such as a judgment lien, tax lien, mortgage lien, or mechanic's lien cannot be placed on real property, personal property, or other valuables securing indebtedness unless these liens are equally and ratably secured.
To add, remove, or change a name on a deed, have a lawyer, title company, or other real estate professional prepare the deed. Then, record the new deed with the Department of Records. Note: We recommend that you do not prepare a deed on your own. We also recommend that you get title insurance.
(c) The lien shall continue for five years from the date the judgment was entered in the judgment index unless the judgment is sooner discharged or the lien is sooner revived. A judgment lien may be revived in the manner provided by Rule 3025 et seq.
