Search Pennsylvania Property Records

In Pennsylvania, property records — including parcel data, assessed value, deeds, and tax history — are primarily maintained at the county level by each county's Assessor and Recorder. Statewide oversight and reporting are provided by the Official Pennsylvania Property Records at www.revenue.pa.gov. See the cards below or the county page for direct local search links.

Pennsylvania does not have a single statewide free property search; deed and assessment data are searched at the county level. The Official Pennsylvania Property Records publishes statewide property-tax rules and aggregate data at www.revenue.pa.gov; for individual parcels, use the county assessor or recorder.

The county Assessor determines property values for tax purposes and maintains the parcel roll. The county Recorder (sometimes Clerk-Recorder) records deeds, mortgages, liens, and other instruments affecting title. In some Pennsylvania countys these are combined offices; in others they're separate. The Official Pennsylvania Property Records at www.revenue.pa.gov publishes the full list.

Parcel identification numbers (APN, PIN, or parcel number depending on the county) are assigned by the county assessor. They appear on every tax bill and on the county's online property-search interface. Once you have the parcel ID you can look up assessed value, ownership history, and recorded documents through the county site; the statewide overview is at www.revenue.pa.gov.

Assessment appeals in Pennsylvania are filed at the county level with the local assessment appeals board, typically within a deadline set after annual valuation notices are mailed. The Official Pennsylvania Property Records publishes the statewide rules, deadlines, and appeal forms at www.revenue.pa.gov.
