Which document is recorded in the recorder of deeds?

The realty transfer tax statement of value is filed or recorded with the recorder of deeds as part of the real estate transfer recording process when required. Civil judgments and many lien-related court filings are handled through the prothonotary or court records, not the recorder of deeds. A mechanic’s lien is generally a statutory lien filed through court procedures, not simply recorded like a deed. A notice of lis pendens is tied to pending litigation and court notice. Pennsylvania’s Department of Revenue explains that realty transfer tax is collected by county Recorders of Deeds, and Philadelphia recording guidance states that deeds must be accompanied by applicable transfer tax materials, including the PA Realty Transfer Tax Statement of Value.
