Find Pennsylvania Property Records, Taxes and Deeds

Pennsylvania property information is divided among several offices. The assessment office maintains parcel and valuation data, the current tax collector handles active bills, the Tax Claim office handles many delinquent accounts, and the Recorder of Deeds maintains land documents.

This guide explains how to identify the correct county, search by owner, address or parcel number, read assessed values and millage, locate tax balances, find deeds, prepare an assessment appeal and understand when a county auditor or the Auditor General is actually relevant.

Get the quick answer Find your county portal Find a tax balance
Do not begin with the county auditor when you need a property record. Pennsylvania county auditors or controllers review county financial accounts. They generally do not determine parcel values, collect your real estate bill or record your deed.

Quick answer: which Pennsylvania office do you need?

Use the county assessment office for parcel data and assessed value, the collector named on the bill for current taxes, the Tax Claim Bureau or designated delinquent-tax office for overdue taxes, and the Recorder of Deeds for deeds, mortgages, plats and easements.

1 Confirm the county Use the physical location, not only the mailing city.
2 Find the parcel Search the assessment office by address, owner or parcel.
3 Copy every identifier Keep the parcel, tax-map, OPA or block-and-lot number.
4 Move to the correct office Collector, Tax Claim, Recorder, appeal board or auditor.

Best sequence: Find the assessment parcel first, copy its official identifier, and use that number when contacting the tax collector, Tax Claim Bureau or Recorder.
Statewide county finder

Find the official property portal for any Pennsylvania county

Pennsylvania does not operate one public parcel database containing every county’s complete assessment records. Each county controls its own portal, search fields, update schedule and access rules.

Confirm the property’s physical county Check the deed, tax bill, municipality, GIS boundary or official address. A ZIP code or mailing city can cover more than one county.
Identify the municipality Determine whether the property is in a city, borough, township or town because tax collectors and school districts may be organized around the municipality.
Open the official county website Look for Assessment, Property Assessment, Real Estate, Tax Assessment, Parcel Search or GIS.
Verify the office contact The page should identify the county office, courthouse address, phone number and public-record disclaimer.
Search the assessment parcel Use address or parcel number first. Add an owner name only when the county supports it.
Find the collector separately Read the county, municipal and school bills because different offices may collect each tax.
Use the Recorder for legal land documents Do not rely on the abbreviated legal description shown in a parcel portal.

Assessment-record decoder

Understand Pennsylvania assessment values and tax fields

Common Pennsylvania property-record fields explained
Field
What it means
What to check next
Parcel identifier
The county’s tax-map, block-and-lot, OPA or parcel account number.
Use it for tax, deed, appeal and GIS questions.
Assessed value
The taxable assessment assigned under the county’s valuation system.
Check the assessment year, ratio and appeal history.
Market value
A stated or calculated estimate of fair market value.
Do not assume it equals a current appraisal in every county.
Predetermined ratio
The county-established percentage used to relate assessment to market value.
Use the county’s current ratio and valuation year.
Common level ratio
A county ratio calculated by Pennsylvania’s State Tax Equalization Board.
Use it only when applicable to an assessment or appeal calculation.
Millage
Tax rate expressed in mills; one mill equals one dollar per $1,000 of taxable assessment.
Apply the specific county, municipal or school millage.
Land value
The assessment assigned to the land portion.
Check acreage, lot size, location and Clean and Green status.
Improvement value
The assessment assigned to buildings and other improvements.
Verify square footage, age, condition and additions.
Homestead or Farmstead
An approved eligibility designation used for available property-tax relief.
Check whether the benefit appears on the applicable school-tax bill.
Clean and Green
Preferential assessment for qualifying agricultural, forest reserve or agricultural reserve land.
Review use restrictions and possible rollback-tax consequences.
Sale history
Recorded or validated transfers associated with the parcel.
Confirm transaction type before treating it as a market sale.

Basic tax-estimate formula

Approximate tax: assessed value × millage ÷ 1,000. Calculate county, municipal and school millage separately, then account for exclusions, exemptions, discounts, penalties and special charges.
Do not use the common level ratio as the tax rate. The CLR is an equalization and valuation tool. Millage is the rate used to calculate the tax from taxable assessed value.

The State Tax Equalization Board publishes county common level ratios, aggregate market values, land-use reports and sales data. These statewide reports help explain valuation relationships but do not replace the county parcel record.

Open STEB ratios and reports
Tax Claim and overdue taxes

Use the correct office after a bill becomes delinquent

In many Pennsylvania counties, unpaid real estate taxes are returned to a Tax Claim Bureau or another designated delinquent-tax office. Once transferred, the original collector may no longer be able to provide the payoff.

Find the parcel number and tax year Prepare every year that may remain unpaid.
Ask whether the bill was returned delinquent The current collector can often confirm whether the account moved to Tax Claim.
Contact the Tax Claim office Request a payoff valid through the planned payment date.
Ask about every charge Confirm interest, penalties, costs, lien status, notice fees and payment restrictions.
Ask whether a sale process has started Determine whether the parcel is connected with an upset, judicial or repository sale process.
Save written confirmation Keep the payoff, payment receipt and confirmation that the account was satisfied.
Do not mail the amount shown on an old bill. A delinquent payoff can change because of statutory charges, interest, costs and the date on which payment is received.
Tax Claim call script “I need a current payoff for parcel [number] at [address] for tax years [years]. Please confirm all interest and costs through [payment date], whether a tax sale or lien process has started, and which payment methods your office accepts.”
Philadelphia exception: Philadelphia property balances, overdue taxes, payment agreements and assistance programs are administered through the City Department of Revenue and Philadelphia Tax Center rather than a normal county Tax Claim Bureau workflow.
Deeds, mortgages and land records

Move from the parcel record to the recorded document

Pennsylvania deeds are recorded at county level. The State Archives holds historical Commonwealth land records, but it does not replace the county Recorder of Deeds for modern deed books, mortgages, easements and subdivision plans.

Copy assessment clues Save the current owner, prior owner, sale date, parcel number and abbreviated legal description.
Open the county Recorder of Deeds Use Philadelphia’s Department of Records or Allegheny County’s Division of Real Estate where applicable.
Search both grantor and grantee Try full legal names, initials, former surnames, trusts, estates and companies.
Narrow the date range Use the approximate purchase, refinance, release or subdivision period.
Choose the document type Deed, mortgage, satisfaction, easement, restriction, plan, declaration or lien.
Verify the legal description Match municipality, subdivision, lot, block, acreage or metes-and-bounds description.
Request certification only when needed Ask the court, lender, title company or agency whether an ordinary copy is sufficient.

Documents the assessment portal cannot replace

Recorded deed
Mortgage and satisfaction
Easement or right-of-way
Subdivision or condominium plan
Declaration and restrictions
Corrective deed
Boundary survey
Title examination
State tax lien is a different record. Pennsylvania Department of Revenue liens for unpaid state taxes are filed with county Prothonotary offices. They are not the same as a delinquent local real estate tax claim.

For historical warrants, patents and original Commonwealth land transactions, use the Pennsylvania State Archives. For the modern chain of title, begin with the county Recorder.

GIS, maps and boundary research

Use a parcel map without treating it as a survey

GIS is useful for
  • Locating a parcel
  • Finding adjoining properties
  • Viewing roads and aerial imagery
  • Checking municipality and district context
  • Finding a parent parcel or subdivision
GIS cannot prove
  • Exact corner locations
  • Legal ownership
  • Buildable area
  • Easement rights
  • Zoning or permit approval
Find the parcel record first Copy the official parcel identifier before opening the map.
Search the GIS viewer Use the parcel, address or owner field supported by that county.
Confirm the map popup Match the selected parcel with the assessment record.
Use only necessary layers Turn on aerial, zoning, flood, school or municipality layers one at a time.
Save the source and date A screenshot should identify the county viewer, map layer and access date.
Verify legal questions elsewhere Obtain the deed, plan, survey and official zoning determination before acting.
Construction warning: Do not place a fence, driveway, building, septic system or utility from the visual parcel line displayed in a county GIS viewer.
Assessment review and appeal

Pennsylvania appeal deadlines are county-specific

The property owner should read the assessment notice and county appeal instructions immediately. Some deadlines are annual; others run from the notice, interim assessment, property transfer or catastrophic loss.

Prepare an evidence-based appeal

Identify the assessment year Confirm whether the challenged value applies to the current year or the next tax year.
Verify the county’s deadline Use the assessment notice and official Board of Assessment Appeals page.
Review every property characteristic Check land area, building size, use, condition, age and improvements.
Identify the appeal theory Market value, lack of uniformity or a material factual error.
Collect relevant evidence Recent arm’s-length sale, appraisal, comparable sales, photographs, measurements, estimates or demolition records.
File the correct form Include parcel information, requested value, authorization and all required copies.
Keep delivery proof Retain the online confirmation, email, stamped copy or certified-mail record.

Ten practical answers

Pennsylvania county property search FAQs

Do Pennsylvania county auditors maintain property records?

County auditors or controllers primarily audit county financial accounts. Property ownership, assessment and parcel information is normally maintained by the county assessment office or a county-specific property assessment department.

How do I find the official Pennsylvania county property search?

Confirm the county where the property is physically located, open that county’s official government website and look for Property Assessment, Assessment Office, Real Estate, Parcel Search or GIS. Avoid relying only on the mailing city because postal boundaries can cross county lines.

Can I search Pennsylvania property records by owner name?

Many counties support owner-name searches, but access rules vary. Begin with the surname or legal entity name. Some counties restrict owner searches, require registration or charge for advanced access.

Who collects Pennsylvania real estate taxes?

Collection varies by location and bill type. A locally elected or appointed tax collector, county treasurer, municipality, school district or contracted collection service may collect current taxes. Follow the collector and instructions printed on the specific bill.

Where do I pay delinquent Pennsylvania property taxes?

Delinquent real estate taxes commonly move to a county Tax Claim Bureau or another designated delinquent-tax office. Philadelphia administers real estate tax accounts through the City Department of Revenue. Confirm the current payoff before sending payment.

Where can I find a Pennsylvania deed or mortgage?

Deeds, mortgages, releases, easements and many land records are recorded at the county level with the Recorder of Deeds or the county-specific office performing that function. Philadelphia uses the Department of Records, while Allegheny County uses its Division of Real Estate.

Are Pennsylvania GIS parcel lines legal boundaries?

No. GIS parcel lines are useful for locating and comparing property, but they do not replace a recorded deed, subdivision plan or professional boundary survey.

How do I appeal a Pennsylvania property assessment?

Review the assessment notice and county property record, gather evidence and file with the county Board of Assessment Appeals or equivalent office before the county-specific deadline. Pennsylvania does not have one universal annual appeal deadline.

What is Pennsylvania’s common level ratio?

The State Tax Equalization Board calculates a common level ratio for each county. It is used in certain assessment and appeal calculations to relate assessed values to market values, but it is not a statewide parcel-search tool or tax rate.

What does the Pennsylvania Auditor General do?

The Pennsylvania Auditor General audits public agencies, county row offices, municipal pensions, volunteer firefighters’ relief associations and other publicly funded activities. The department does not determine individual parcel values, record deeds or collect local real estate taxes.

Information checked August 6, 2026: Pennsylvania county-auditor duties, assessment roles, qualified tax collectors, STEB reports, property-record routing, county deed records, 2026 rebate information, Auditor General resources, Allegheny County appeal dates and Philadelphia 2027 valuation deadlines were checked against official Pennsylvania government sources.

Estimates use Ohio's 35% statutory assessment ratio and effective tax rate tiers averaged across major Ohio counties. Your actual bill depends on local school levies, voted millage, inside vs. outside millage splits, House Bill 920 reduction factors (HB 920), and special assessments.
