Cheshire County FAQs |
1. HOW DO I OBTAIN A COPY FROM THE REGISTRY? There are various ways to obtain copies from Cheshire Registry of Deeds. ONE TIME REQUEST Write a note with your requested volume and page and grantor/grantee, if known, and send it along with proper payment to the office. Request will be mailed the same day it is received. WANT COPIES IMMEDIATELY AND FREQUENTLY Sign up for an account for a one time charge of $50. This allows remote printing of all documents which are available on-line at a cost of $1/page. Instructions and Form Here For documents which are not on-line or which you would like to have printed and sent to you, the charges will be $2 for the 1st sheet and $1 for each additional page plus postage. Certification is an additional $2. Faxed copies are $3 per sheet. The copies will be charged to your account and the copy will either be mailed or faxed to you immediately. 2. HOW DO I ADD OR CHANGE A NAME ON MY DEED? The only way to change or add a name to a deed is by having a new deed prepared. We cannot do this for you. We suggest that you consult a lawyer to prepare the document. 3. HOW DO I FIND A PLAN OF MY LAND? Not all deeds have plans that accompany them. If your property is part of a subdivision, a plan is probably available and we will help you locate it. If a former owner had the property surveyed, we will show you how to use the plan index to locate it. 4. I NEED TO KNOW HOW MUCH I PAID FOR MY PROPERTY. CAN YOU TELL ME? When you purchased the property, you paid a transfer tax based on the selling price. The tax rate has changed over the years and a schedule of the various rates is available. The date of the deed will determine the rate at the time of your purchase and the tax stamp can be converted to a selling price. 5. I HAD LIEN AGAINST ME WHICH HAS NOW BEEN PAID AND WAS TOLD YOU WILL RELEASE ME. We do not originate any records here, our function is to record documents brought to this office and cannot release any liens without a proper written release or discharge. An original release must be obtained from the party that placed the lien against you and then recorded with the Registry to remove the lien from the title. The original records are never removed but become part of the title of the property. An abstractor researching the records would find the lien has been satisfied once the release is recorded. 6. I WANT TO KNOW WHO OWNS A PIECE OF PROPERTY. YOU HAVE ALL THE LAND RECORDS, CAN YOU TELL ME All records in the Registry are indexed by owner’s name, not a property address. You must have a name and if not, then you should contact the city assessor or the town tax collector where the property is located. They will have the property owner’s name listed for that property. We recommend that you consult with a lawyer for all legal matters pertaining to preparing, interpreting and changing the records. |
