1. How can I record my document?

In-person, through the mail, or through Simplifile or Ingeo. All documents require a self-addressed, stamped envelope to return them, and a check/cash for the recording fee. The documents must first go into the Assessment Office, where the parcel number is certified. Then the documents must go to the Recorder's office for recordation and collection of fees.

2. How long does it take to receive my recorded document back?

Anywhere from four to eight weeks after being recorded, based on work load. The documents must be scanned, proofed, indexed, and verified before being returned.

York County does not require separate checks for transfer taxes. One check may be used, or you can use three checks. Whichever you prefer.
