As the Bucks County (BC) Recorder of Deeds, I provide accessible and efficient services. In the past three yrs., I have held mobile office hrs. for residents to get deed copies, learn about property protection through the Fraud Alert Program (FAP), record veterans' military discharge papers, and renew notary commissions at no extra cost.I started the History Social, a monthly event for exploring BC's history through Deed Books from 1687. Recognizing property purchase as a major investment, I expanded the FAP to include tax parcel numbers for unique identification.
