Start here
Lebanon is the county seat of Lebanon County, but Lebanon City and Lebanon County are separate jurisdictions. County offices handle countywide records and court functions. City permits, code, property maintenance, and rental questions belong to the City only when the property is inside city limits.
Use the property address and the notice or record in front of you. A Lebanon mailing address does not by itself choose the municipal office. For local identity and the county-seat description, see the City of Lebanon About page ↗.
Local records and offices
Start with the office that matches the question. Bring the current notice, property address, or record details when you call so the office can point you to the right property-specific answer.
Lebanon County · assessment, valuation, and property records
Use this office for assessed value, assessment records, and parcel or property-record questions. Assessment is separate from delinquent-tax collection, recorded deeds, civil judgments, and a title review.
717-228-4425 · Room 118, Lebanon County Municipal Building, 400 South 8th Street, Lebanon, PA 17042-6794. Ask about the exact property address.
Lebanon County · delinquent real-estate taxes and tax sales
Call the Tax Claim Bureau for delinquent real-estate tax balances, payoff information, tax-sale notices, and the status of a specific parcel. Its upset-sale process is separate from a mortgage-foreclosure Sheriff sale.
717-228-4416 · Room 103, Lebanon County Municipal Building, 400 South 8th Street, Lebanon, PA 17042-6794. Use the current county notice or list for sale dates and parcel status.
Lebanon County · deeds, mortgages, and recorded land documents
Use the Recorder of Deeds for recorded ownership documents, deeds, mortgages, and other land records tied to the property. It is a different record path from assessment and Tax Claim.
717-228-4447 · Room 107, Lebanon County Municipal Building, 400 South 8th Street, Lebanon, PA 17042-6794. Bring the exact address and any document information you already have.
Lebanon County · probate, estates, inheritance-tax filings, and Orphans’ Court administration
For an estate-linked house, use this office to locate probate and estate filings, identify the estate record, and find the right place to ask about authority to sell. Start with the actual estate record, will, and any order before making a signing plan.
717-228-4415 · Room 105, Lebanon County Municipal Building, 400 South 8th Street, Lebanon, PA 17042-6794. The office also lists Pennsylvania inheritance-tax collection for a decedent who lived in Lebanon County.
Lebanon County Court of Common Pleas · civil cases, judgments, and lien records
Use the Prothonotary for civil court records, judgments, and lien matters that may affect a property. The office says the public may search and view files unless a file is impounded.
717-228-4418 · Room 104, Lebanon County Municipal Building, 400 South 8th Street, Lebanon, PA 17042-6794. Ask about the record connected to the property or person named in a notice.
Lebanon County · mortgage-foreclosure, execution-sale, lien, levy, and sale administration
If a mortgage, court, or Sheriff notice is in front of you, use the Sheriff’s Office for current real-estate sale information. Check the live docket, notice, sale date, and any postponement with the Sheriff, court, or qualified Pennsylvania counsel.
717-228-4410 · Room 3, Lebanon County Municipal Building, 400 South 8th Street, Lebanon, PA 17042-6794. Mortgage-foreclosure sales are separate from Tax Claim delinquent-tax sales.
City of Lebanon only · building, zoning, and permits
For a property inside Lebanon city limits, call this division about building or zoning codes, permits, and a project you are considering. A Lebanon mailing address alone does not establish city jurisdiction.
717-639-2800 · City Hall, 735 Cumberland Street, Lebanon, PA 17042. The City advises calling before beginning a project.
City of Lebanon only · code enforcement, property maintenance, and residential rental
Use this city function for nuisance or property-maintenance concerns, code-enforcement questions, rental registration, and annual rental inspections. Check the exact address with the City for its license, inspection, notice, permit, and code status.
717-639-2800; rental and property-maintenance inquiries use option 2. City Hall is at 735 Cumberland Street, Lebanon, PA 17042, and rental questions are directed to the first floor.
Pennsylvania · state realty-transfer-tax information
Use Pennsylvania Revenue for the state realty-transfer-tax rules, exemptions, and filing information. The local portion depends on the applicable municipality or authority and the transaction facts, so ask the title company to show the actual figures on the settlement statement.
The Pennsylvania facts below explain the state portion and why a Lebanon local total should not be guessed.
Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency · mortgage assistance and counseling
Use PHFA’s HEMAP page when mortgage-payment trouble or an Act 91 Notice is part of the situation. Have the actual notice available and use the designated counselor process for the property owner’s case.
717-780-3940 · toll-free 1-800-342-2397. HEMAP is separate from a sale to a buyer and from Lebanon County Tax Claim; the program facts and qualifications are below.
Civil legal aid serving Lebanon County, Pennsylvania
MidPenn Legal Services lists Lebanon County among its service counties and provides a Lebanon office. Use its intake process for a civil legal matter involving housing, debt, ownership, or another eligible issue.
Lebanon office: 1150 Chestnut Street, Suite 1, Lebanon, PA 17042 · 717-274-2834. Application line: 1-800-326-9177. Eligibility and representation depend on current intake rules and acceptance.
Pennsylvania facts to check
These facts help you frame the question for the Register of Wills, Sheriff, PHFA, Revenue, title professional, or closing professional. Match each one to the property, person, notice, and transaction in front of you.
In the ordinary case, Pennsylvania law gives an appointed personal representative—the person appointed to administer the estate—authority under 20 Pa.C.S. §3351 to sell real estate that was not specifically devised, meaning specifically given to someone by the will, unless the will provides otherwise. If the property was specifically devised, the specific devisee must join the sale under that section.
A silent will does not itself require court approval. Section 3353 permits an Orphans’ Court-authorized transaction—the Pennsylvania court route for estate matters—when statutory authority is absent, the governing instrument denies the power, or a judicial-sale effect is advisable. Identify the appointed representative, actual will, devise, and any applicable order before relying on a contract or deciding who can sign.
Pennsylvania inheritance tax depends on the beneficiary relationship, ownership, and exemptions. The ordinary rate table includes 0% for transfers to a surviving spouse or a parent from a child aged 21 or younger, 4.5% for direct descendants and lineal heirs, 12% for siblings, and 15% for other heirs, subject to the stated exemptions. For a resident decedent, payment is routed through the Register of Wills in the decedent’s county of residence, not automatically the county where the property sits. Payment becomes delinquent nine months after death, and a qualifying payment within three months receives a 5% discount. Those are tax-administration dates, not a mandatory waiting period before selling a house.
Pennsylvania Rule of Civil Procedure 3129.2 generally requires Sheriff handbills and specified written notices at least 30 days before an execution sale, which is a court-ordered sale. That is a notice requirement, not a guaranteed amount of time left and not a promise that an offer stops a scheduled sale. Check the live docket, notice, sale date, postponement, and court process.
PHFA states that HEMAP is a repayable mortgage-assistance loan, not a grant, for qualifying Pennsylvania homeowners who face foreclosure. An owner who receives an Act 91 Notice is directed to meet a designated counseling agency face-to-face within 33 days of the notice date; the agency must forward the application within 30 days of that meeting, and PHFA may take up to 60 days after receipt to decide. Owner occupancy, hardship, repayment prospects, mortgage type, and other requirements apply. FHA Title II loans are ineligible, and some USDA or Rural Housing mortgages have different notice rules. A call to a home buyer or an unsigned agreement does not create HEMAP protection.
Pennsylvania Revenue describes a 1% state realty-transfer tax on taxable transfers plus an applicable local tax, subject to exemptions. The local component depends on the applicable municipality or authority and transaction facts. No single Lebanon city or school-district total is used here; put the actual allocation, exemptions, and party responsibility in the written contract and settlement statement after title and closing review.
Realty transfer tax is different from Pennsylvania inheritance tax. Ask the title company to show the transaction-specific numbers rather than relying on an approximate local percentage.

Here's what sellers across Pennsylvania have said about working with us.
“After my mother passed, my brother and I inherited her house off Derry Street. Neither of us lives in Harrisburg anymore, and the thought of cleaning it out and making repairs before listing felt impossible. USA Home Buyers made us a fair offer and closed in 12 days. We didn't have to touch a thing.”
“I was four months behind on my mortgage and the notices were stacking up. I didn't even know I could sell and still come out with money. USA Home Buyers explained the whole thing, the offer was fair, and we closed before things got worse. Huge weight off my shoulders.”
“I had a tenant who stopped paying rent and refused to leave. I was paying the mortgage out of pocket for months. USA Home Buyers bought the property with the tenant still in it. That was the end of my landlord days. Done.”

For a property inside Lebanon city limits, use Building and Zoning for permits and zoning questions, and use City Code Enforcement or Rental Information for property-maintenance, nuisance, rental registration, and inspection questions. Nearby boroughs and townships have separate offices, so use the property’s actual municipality rather than only its mailing address.
