*The Following Pennsylvania and Bucks County supplemental forms are included as a courtesy with your order.
Real Estate Registration
This form is required in Buckingham Township when recording a deed.
E-mail Receipt Form
In an effort to reduce costs and the amount of paper consumption by the Recorder of Deeds Office, their office will no longer be providing paper copies of receipts for documents submitted. The new process will be to email copies of receipts to document submitters. If they must print a paper copy of a receipt there will be a .50 cent charge per receipt requested. This is a form that can be completed so that they can enter all email addresses for document submitters into the Landex system. Completed forms should be returned to the Bucks County Recorder of Deeds Office.
Realty Transfer Tax
Complete each section and file in duplicate with Recorder of Deeds when: (1) the full value/consideration is not set forth in the deed, (2) the deed is without consideration or by gift, or (3) a tax exemption is claimed. Note: This is a statewide form required in every county where applicable.
Transfer Tax
These pages offer information on transfer tax in Pennsylvania. They also list transfer tax exemptions to determine whether the deed in question is exempt.
Valuation Factors
If transfer tax is due, this will show how much is owed by county. The short list contains current rates for all counties, the long list traces the development of rates over time for each county.
Homestead / Farmland Exemption
For properties considered the primary residence of the taxpayer, a homestead exemption may exist. The Bucks County Homestead Exemption can reduce the appraised valuation of a primary residence before calculating the property tax owed, resulting in a lower annual property tax rate for owner-occupied homes.
Notary Certificates
The supplemental forms in this section can be used as loose certificates by Pennsylvania notaries.

Review: This website was very helpful in explaining what a "gift" deed is and how to execute it. I didn't want to incur legal fees for a simple transaction and this website helped me avoid that.

Review: This site was recommended to me. The deed worked just fine for recording a property transfer (Warranty Deed). What I like is that there is a 1 time fee, not a subscription. I would highly recommend. It saved us $2000 in closing costs and fees.

Review: Bottom line - it was certainly worth the $21 (+-?) I paid for the form and instructions, etc. Admittedly the form is a little inflexible in terms of editing for readability but I understand that offering greater flexibility would likely make theft more likely. So I'm happy with what I got. One suggestion - add more info about what's required in the "Source of Title" section.
