1. What documents do you handle?
   We handle as many as twenty-five different kinds of documents in addition to deeds and mortgages.  Some of them include clean and greens, sub-divisions, sewer easements, agricultural maps, and filings under the UCC Code.  For a complete list, refer to our fee schedule.  (To view /print the form properly, you need Adobe Reader , which can be downloaded at no charge.)
   
   
2. Are there certain rules for plans?
   Subdivision plans must be one of two sizes to be accepted for recording;  either 18 by 24 inches or 24 by 36 inches.  We need the original on linen or mylar.  The plans must be signed and sealed by the local governing body.  It must then be signed by the local planning commission, and the Beaver County Planning Commission, the owner, and a Notary, along with the signature of the surveyor and his seal.  If the plans were approved, signed and sealed by the governing body more than 90 calendar days, we cannot accept them for recording per Act 247.

3. Are subdivisions Plans required?
   Yes, in accordance with Act 247 Pennsylvania Municipality Code and Municipal Ordinances.  Again, see the Beaver County Planning Commission for details
   
   
4. Can I record my military discharge?
   Yes.  It is a good idea to record it in the event of loss.  Originals are recorded through the Veterans Office, located on the first floor of the County Courthouse.  The Recorder's Office can provide you with a certified copy in the event you need it for various veteran benefits.  There is no charge for this since the fee is paid by the county.  No one but the veteran, his family or a veteran organization official is permitted to look at these records.
