What we handle on a Fulton County file

Fulton County has 13 municipalities, 11 townships and the boroughs of McConnellsburg and Valley-Hi, and its recording office sits inside the Prothonotary's office at the courthouse in McConnellsburg. A deed here makes two stops: the Assessment Office on West Market Street must certify the UPI before the Recorder will accept it, under a county ordinance in force since June 1, 2013. Transfer tax is uniform at 2% countywide. The work on a Fulton file is rural: Clean and Green conveyance notices, on-lot sewage handled through the sewage enforcement officer each township lists, and delinquent taxes that move to a September tax sale. Once your deal is ratified, PLS builds and manages the file in KW Command, tracks every deadline and contingency, routes documents for signature, and coordinates with lender, title, attorneys, and the co-op agent. See the full transaction coordination service for the complete scope, and the Pennsylvania overview for statewide notes.

Realty transfer tax in Fulton County: 2.0%

Every one of Fulton County's 13 municipalities splits it the same way: 1% to the Commonwealth, 0.5% to the municipality, and 0.5% to the school district, per the 2026 DCED Municipal Statistics tax register, which shows each municipality in a single school district (Central Fulton, Southern Fulton, or Forbes Road). The Recorder charges $1.00 to file a Statement of Value (REV-183), which is required whenever the deed does not state the full consideration or claims an exemption. The fee sheet's common level ratio line is out of date, and the current Department of Revenue factor for Fulton County is 4.95 for documents accepted from July 1, 2026.

Statement of Value
UPI certification

When each one applies is explained in the requirements below.

County Ordinance 1 of 2013, enacted May 7, 2013 and effective June 1, 2013, bars the Recorder from recording any deed, mortgage, or other instrument affecting Fulton real estate unless the UPI appears in it and has been certified by the County Assessment Office. The UPI and the certification go at the top of the first page, and every document must leave at least two inches of space there for that purpose. The certification fee is $20.00 per UPI, paid to the Recorder at recording, and the person recording is solely responsible for the accuracy of the number. A deed that changes the size or description of a parcel needs a surveyed metes and bounds description or a recorded subdivision plan before a new UPI is assigned.

Recording fees and transfer tax rates for every county we coordinate in are collected side by side on our recording fee and transfer tax reference.

What actually holds up a closing here

Get the UPI certified at the Assessment Office before the courthouse

The certification is a separate stop from recording. Under Ordinance 1 of 2013, the Fulton County Assessment Office, acting through its Tax Mapping Office, certifies the UPI before the Recorder will accept the instrument, and the county states its intention to certify within one day when the request comes with all documentation in proper order. The Assessment Office is at 116 West Market Street, Suite 202, McConnellsburg, 717-485-3208, open 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., and it has a Property Transaction Specialist on staff. A rejection can be given by phone or by mail, so build a day into the schedule and leave two inches clear at the top of page one.

Clean and Green land needs a Notification of Conveyance

The Fulton County Assessment Office publishes a Notification of Conveyance form for land enrolled under the Pennsylvania Farmland and Forest Land Assessment Act of 1974. The current owner signs it and reports the parcel, the enrollment date, whether any land was previously conveyed from the original tract, the acres involved as a transfer, split-off, or separation, and the proposed use of the land being conveyed. The county's program guide explains that a rollback reaches the current year and the six previous years, with simple interest at 6% a year, and that after a separation or split-off, a buyer who changes the use to an ineligible one pays the rollback on all parcels included on the original application. A Clean and Green application or amendment is also a UPI-certified document under the county ordinance.

Delinquent taxes go to the Treasurer, with a check cutoff before the tax sale

The Tax Claim Bureau is part of the Treasurer's Office at 101 Lincoln Way West, Suite 101, McConnellsburg, 717-485-4454. It accepts cash or checks, but personal checks only up to 30 days before the tax sale, and the office takes no transactions after 3:30 p.m. even though it is open until 4:00. The county asks payers to call ahead for an accurate payoff. The 2026 upset sale was held September 21 and the judicial sale September 15, so on a file with delinquent taxes in late summer, get the payoff and pay with certified funds well ahead of the sale date.

Each township lists its own sewage enforcement officer

On-lot sewage in Fulton County runs through the sewage enforcement officer named by each township, and the county's municipal pages list one for all 11 townships. Catanese S.E.O., LLC of Huntingdon, 814-386-5839, is listed for Ayr, Bethel, Brush Creek, and Thompson Townships. JWP Environmental, Inc. of Mercersburg, 717-328-5769, is listed for Dublin, Licking Creek, Taylor, Todd, Union, and Wells Townships, and Jason Cotton, 717-372-9557, is listed for Belfast Township. Todd Township also publishes its own Land Use Permit Application. When inspection findings call for a septic repair or replacement, call the township's officer first, because the permit and the repair schedule run through that office.

Mortgage satisfactions need the original or a copy attached

The Recorder's fee schedule tells filers to always attach the original mortgage, or a copy of its first two pages, to a satisfaction piece, or else enclose an additional $5.00 for a certified copy. The satisfaction itself is $81.75 with one UPI included, and the satisfaction is a UPI-certified document like the deed. Send a self-addressed stamped envelope with every recording, because the schedule asks for one on all recordings for return mailing.
