Transaction Coordinator in Snyder County, PA.

What we handle on a Snyder County file

Snyder County has 21 municipalities, six boroughs and fifteen townships, and every one of them sits in either the Midd-West or the Selinsgrove Area School District at the same 2 percent combined transfer tax. The recording side is small and strict: one Register and Recorder in the Middleburg courthouse, checks that must be exact because no refunds are given, and a self-addressed stamped envelope or the originals do not come back. The municipal work concentrates in the boroughs, where Selinsgrove, Middleburg, Beavertown, McClure, and Freeburg all license rental units, so an investor purchase in any of them carries a licensing step the buyer has to own from day one. 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 Snyder County: 2.0%

Snyder County is uniform: 1% to the Commonwealth, 0.5% to the municipality, and 0.5% to the school district. The PA DCED 2026 tax register lists a 0.5 percent municipal and 0.5 percent school district realty transfer tax in all 21 municipalities, twelve of them in the Midd-West School District and nine in the Selinsgrove Area School District, and the Register and Recorder states that a 1% state and 1% local realty transfer tax apply. The Recorder requires a Statement of Value (REV-183), filed in duplicate, on every deed, lease, lease assignment, right of way, and easement that is not paying full transfer tax; the only exceptions it lists are a bona fide sale with full tax paid, a family exemption stated in the body of the deed, and a transfer to a registered public utility stated in the easement. The fee schedule lists the Statement of Value at $2.00.

Recording a deed in Snyder County

The Snyder County Register of Wills and Recorder of Deeds sits at Snyder County Courthouse, 9 West Market Street, Middleburg, PA 17842, 570-837-4224. The current recording fee is $59.75 for a deed, effective December 1, 2025. The current schedule took effect December 1, 2025, when the state surcharge the schedule labels JCP, ATJ, CJEA, and OAG rose from $40.25 to $41.25. Pages over four are $2.00 each, names over four are $0.50 each, and on deeds and mortgages every parcel after the first is $0.50. A mortgage is also $59.75, a satisfaction piece $64.75, and a Statement of Value $2.00. Checks are payable to Snyder County Recorder of Deeds, a separate check is required for each document, every check must be the correct amount because no refunds are given, and a returned check costs $50.00 plus bank charges. The office is open 8:30 to 4:00 weekdays, but recording closes at 3:45. E-recording is available through CSC and Simplifile.

What stops a Snyder deed at the counter is money and paperwork, not a parcel certification. An overpaid or underpaid check is a problem because the office will not refund, each document needs its own check, and a self-addressed stamped envelope of the proper size is required for the return of documents. A Statement of Value, in duplicate and fully completed, signed, and dated, must accompany any deed that is not paying full transfer tax. Every deed, mortgage, and mortgage assignment needs a signed certificate of address for the grantee, mortgagee, or assignee, the notary stamp, seal, and signature must each be independent of the others, and blanket documents are not accepted. The county does not publish a UPI or assessment certification step: neither the Recorder page, the Recorder fee schedule, nor the Assessment page lists one, and the Assessment Office describes its deed role as analyzing deeds and transferring ownership after the fact. Delinquent county taxes are a separate check: the Tax Claim Bureau issues lien certifications in office or by mail for $5.00, at 570-837-4220.

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.

Where these figures come from

The county-level figures on this page come from the official sources listed below. Municipal fees and deadlines come from each municipality's own published schedules and ordinances, which are revised more often than they are archived. We publish what we could verify and leave out what we could not. Fees and ordinances change; if you are relying on a figure here for a live file, confirm it with the issuing office, and tell us if you find a discrepancy so we can correct the page.
