TRANSACTION PACKAGING TIPS
In an effort to ensure proper recording of your documents, here a few tips to adhere by when creating transactions with multiple documents.
-
If you send a document with a separate transaction number, it MUST have its own check
-
If multiple documents that are to be recorded together are sent in, they MUST have the same transaction number.
-
If documents are submitted under the same transaction number, the MUST be sent together in the same envelope, not separately.
-
If single documents are submitted, you MAY NOT resue the same cover page for similar documents.
If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office at 717.299.8238. Thank you for your cooperation!

Bonnie L. Bowman, 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 Bonnie L. Bowman. Mrs. Bowman has been the County Recorder since 2010.
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 documents, 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 SearchDocs) and tax and parcel information (via GIS property search).
MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Lancaster County Recorder of Deeds Office is to create a goverment operation that is effective, cost efficient, and customer friendly. We believe a customer-focused approach is the best way to achieve success and success is never final.
The primary function of the office is to maintain the integrity of all land records and documents entrusted to the office, and to act as a collection agent for Real Estate Transfer Tax. We continually strive to improve recording and research capabilities and coordinate with other goverment entities.
