[Ord. 7-1975, 6/9/1975, § 1]
A real estate registry is established in the Borough of Hughesville
for the purpose of procuring accurate information in reference to
the ownership of real estate in said Borough.
[Ord. 7-1975, 6/9/1975, § 2]
The Manager 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 therein, 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 provisions for the names
of future owners and the dates of future transfers of title.
[Ord. 7-1975, 6/9/1975, § 3]
For the purpose of establishing such registry, the Manager shall
have access, without charge, to any public records wherein the necessary
information may be obtained and may also cause a search to be made
in other places for any muniments or evidence of title not reported
to her as herein provided and requisite for the completion of such
books, maps or plans.
[Ord. 7-1975, 6/9/1975, § 4]
The registry, books, maps and plans shall be carefully preserved
by the Borough Manager in the Borough Office, or by such other persons
or at such other places as the Council may from time to time designate,
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 the 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.
[Ord. 7-1975, 6/9/1975, § 5]
The Sheriff of Lycoming County shall present for registry the
deeds of all properties within the Borough sold by him at judicial
sales; and the Recorder of Deeds of Lycoming County shall not admit
for record any deed of any property in said Borough bearing dates
subsequent to the effective date of this Part 6 unless the same shall
first have been duly registered as herein provided.
[Ord. 7-1975, 6/9/1975, § 6]
The Recorder of Deeds of Lycoming County is hereby authorized
and empowered to make a charge of $0.25 in addition to the regular
charges for the recording of deeds, for which said Recorder shall
receive all registrations of real estate within the Borough presented
to him and shall promptly deliver said registrations to the Borough
Manager.
