Berkshire County · recorded deeds and other land records

Use this local court-office listing for probate or family-court routing questions. A house address alone does not establish where a particular estate or case belongs; use the case information when asking about venue.
City of Pittsfield · permits, inspection records, and multi-family inspections
Ask about the City permit or inspection record for the property, or whether the multi-family inspection program covers it. The online permit records are not a complete set of City records.

Local rules and next steps
For a Massachusetts deed price over $100, the standard deeds-excise rate is $2.28 for each $500 or fraction of $500. Berkshire County uses the standard rate; the higher combined state-and-county rate applies in Barnstable County. The excise is paid when the deed is recorded, and state law puts it on the person who signs the deed, normally the seller in a sale. Ask the closing professional to confirm the taxable amount and whether an exception applies.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including the Massachusetts deeds excise. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes are separate.
Pittsfield describes annual registration for non-owner-occupied properties and properties vacant for 180 days or more, in foreclosure, or foreclosed. Ask the Health Department whether the program applies to the exact address; this page does not determine a property's status.
The City's online Building Inspection records go back to 1985, with some earlier material, but do not include the full office record. If a permit or inspection matters to your sale, ask Building Inspectors to confirm the address.
