With this update, the Register and Recorder Office of Lycoming County, PA takes a major step by announcing we no longer require appointments to use the office to perform computer searches. The office is now open to the public from 8:30AM - 5PM. Both entrances are now fully accessible. Face masks and social distancing are required. As we continue to transition from COVID-19, we will be happy to assist you but kindly request that you seek assistance at the front counter only from behind the plexiglass. The front counter hours are from 9AM - 4PM with all recordings completed within this timeframe. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
There is no longer a drop-off box at the main entrance but we still highly prefer conducting as much business as possible through the mail.
Naturally, with any unexpected event such as a resurgence of the virus or in the unlikely event we have an overcrowding situation, we reserve the right to change policy on short notice. Although we apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, we do it in the interest of your safety.
As always check this web page for updated information.
