There be and hereby is established a real estate registry for
the Borough of Sellersville, County of Bucks and State of Pennsylvania,
and the Manager/Secretary of said Borough shall, under the direction
of the Council, cause to be made all necessary books, maps and plans
as will show the situation and dimensions of each property thereon,
which books, maps or plans shall be so prepared as to show the location
and the name of the owner or owners thereof, with blank spaces for
the name of the owner of each lot and with provision for the names
of future owners and the dates of future transfers of title.
For the purpose of establishing such a registry, the Borough
Manager/Secretary shall have access without charge to any public records
wherein the necessary information may be obtainable and may also cause
a search to be made in other places for any muniments or evidences
of title not reported to him as herein provided and requisite for
the completion of such books, maps or plans.
Said books, maps and plans shall be carefully preserved and
shall be so kept, by additions from time to time, as to show the ownership
of every lot or piece of real estate or subdivision thereof within
the limits of said Borough with the succeeding transmissions of title
from the time of the commencement of such plans; but nothing contained
therein shall at any time invalidate any municipal or tax claim by
reason of the fact that the same is not assessed or levied against
the registered owner.
[Amended 7-7-1997 by Ord. No. 604]
The Sheriff of Bucks County shall present for the registry the
deeds of all properties within said Borough sold by him at judicial
sales; and the Recorder of Deeds of Bucks County shall not admit for
record any deed of any property in said Borough bearing dates subsequent
to the approval of any ordinance providing for the establishment of
such registry unless the same shall first have been duly stamped as
herein provided.
