Steve McDonald, Recorder of Deeds

Steve McDonald, Recorder of Deeds

Welcome to the Online Lancaster County Recorder's Office!

A county-wide elected office with a four year term, the Recorder's position is held by Steve McDonald.  Mr. McDonald has been the County Recorder since 1998.

The Recorder of Deeds is responsible for recording documents in two main areas:  Real Estate and Uniform Commercial Code.  Other documents, such as Military Service Discharges, foreign birth certificates, as well as obscure documents like cattle brands, are also recorded here.  All document, except Military Service Discharges, are public record and are readily available in the Office for scrutiny.

Records in this office provide data about real estate transactions and historical perspective.  Deeds, mortgages, releases, easements, surveys, land plans, restrictions, and road right-of-ways are examples of such documents.

Lancaster County's web site allows records to be searched online for Real Estate and Uniform Commercial Code records (via iCRIS document search) and tax and parcel information (via GIS property search).  Images of recorded documents are available starting with those recorded on August 1, 2001 to the present.
