*** LCHIP Recording Surcharge Information, Effective July 1 , 2008***
For questions, contact cdurkee@nhdeeds.com
The Registry of Deeds is the office that processes information as it relates to the selling and buying of real property. It is
a public office open to the legal profession and general public for researching the records. Besides deeds, mortgages, liens
and attachments, there are many other types of documents pertaining to land records filed with the Registry, for example,
covenants for developments, by-laws for condo association, etc.
Plans of surveyed properties are also on record. The Registry houses a collection of plans of deceased surveyors that
have been donated to the Registry and available for research. The Samuel Wadsworth collection, Heman Chase collection
and the William House collection are available in the Registry.
The office provides information to the 22 towns and 1 city in Cheshire County regarding the sale of properties for tax
purposes. There is much information available in the early volumes and anyone interested in genealogy will probably find it
useful to research the records.
All documents have been micro-filmed for security purposes, and the office is now in process of scanning all documents
and plans for ease in locating information. Copies of documents
are available immediately if the customer is present.
Requests by mail will be honored if book and page is known and payment
is made at the time of request.
A closing room is available for public use. Please call ahead, (603) 352-0403,
and speak with Wanda to reserve.
