Re: Pre-Recording of Deed with Newtown Borough
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
The Council of the Borough of Newtown enacted Borough Ordinance # 662 on April 12, 2005 which takes effect on July 1, 2005 and requires that each and every purchaser, devisee, grantee or other person acquiring title to real property in Newtown Borough, in any manner whatsoever shall, within 30 days after acquisition, and prior to recording the instrument with the Bucks County Recorder of Deeds, present to the Newtown Borough Secretary the deed or deeds and/or other instruments of conveyance to be stamped as evidence of the registry of the transfer.
Attached is a Real Estate Deed Registration Application Form, a list of items required when registering each application and instructions for pre-recording a deed with the Borough Secretary. These documents may be copied and distributed, are available on the Borough website, or for pickup at Borough Hall. No other form may be used and no other form will be accepted. The Bucks County Recorder of Deeds has been notified of the provisions of this ordinance and will not accept documents for transfer if they have not been registered with the Borough Secretary.
If you have any questions regarding this notice, please do not hesitate to contact the Borough Secretary at the address shown above.
