Lien and Judgment Search on a Tioga County Property

Two offices, one request

In Pennsylvania, mortgages and other recorded liens are kept by the county Recorder of Deeds, while judgments are entered with the Prothonotary. A complete lien search in Pennsylvania has to look at both. Send us one request and our searcher covers the Tioga County records for you.

What the lien search on property reports

• Mortgages: open, and satisfied.
• Judgments: filed, and satisfied.
• State tax liens and federal tax liens.
• The current owner and the deed, so the liens are tied to the right property.

These are the same entries we compile from the courthouse every week for the public record bulletins, so our office works with them constantly.

When to order one

• Before you lend: a 60-year title search for a loan file.
• Before you buy: a search of the home's title, written in plain terms.
• Before you bid: see title search before a sheriff sale.
• Just the owner: a current owner search is the quick way to confirm ownership.

What to send and what it costs

1. The owner or seller name, exactly as you have it.
2. The property address, township or borough, and the parcel number if you know it.
3. What you need: a single deed, the owners over a period, or a full search.
4. Whether you need copies of the documents.
5. Your phone and return fax number.

Pricing depends on the type of search and whether you need copies. Call 570-724-1041 for a quote before you order; there is no charge for asking.

Limits you should know

We search the Tioga County records. For judgments elsewhere in Pennsylvania, each county has its own Prothonotary, and court dockets can be looked up on the Pennsylvania court portal. Our search is not a legal opinion and not title insurance.
