What you get

• Debtor and secured-party parties: every grantor and grantee on the filing, plus derived debtor_name and secured_party_name fields with an honest party_direction flag.
• Verified party direction: the recorder indexes the debtor as grantor and the secured party, lender or assignee as grantee. The actor keeps every published party and does not invent one.
• Filing type: ucc_initial for the UCC-1 financing statement and ucc_3 for the UCC-3 family, alongside the recorder's own document type and code.
• Recording date and time: normalized to YYYY-MM-DD plus the published time.
• Document number: the recorder's document/instrument number for verification and cross-reference.
• Property context: property address, municipality or township, subdivision, lot and parcel identifiers when the county publishes them.
• Source traceability: source, source page, search term and observation timestamp on every row.

Each record can carry these 46 fields. A field the source does not publish for a record comes back as null.

Use cases

• Tell Delaware County UCC-1 filings from terminations on one row, for lenders doing Philadelphia suburb lien checks.

• Equipment finance, factoring and commercial lenders: monitor competitor lending and new borrower activity.
• Credit, collections and recovery teams: spot new secured positions and UCC-3 activity.
• Solar, HVAC and home-improvement finance teams: county-recorded UCC fixture filings show installed-equipment financing and the lender behind it.

Coverage and freshness

• Observed volume: 2,489 UCC recordings from 2025-01-01 through 2026-10-30 (1,405 UCC-1 and 1,084 UCC-3); about 130 UCC recordings in October 2026 alone. County indexes are updated as documents are recorded, so the newest days can still be incomplete.

Comparison with other Apify actors

No dedicated actor for this source on the Apify Store as of November 2026. We searched the public Store on 2026-11-06 with queries including "Delaware County Pennsylvania lien", "Delaware County recorder" and "Delaware County ucc", and we reviewed the listings for this source and data type.

FAQ

Does it return document images?

No. It returns the public index row, including the recorder's document number so you can order or view the image from the county.

Can I tell a UCC termination from a continuation?

Not from this index. The county labels every UCC-3 as "UCC 3"; the actor reports ucc_3 and is_release: false rather than guessing. Check the recorded document image.

Does it cover state UCC filings?

No. Delaware County is a Pennsylvania county recorder jurisdiction; state-level UCC filings are handled by the Pennsylvania Department of State and are outside this source.

Can I search by business name?

Yes. Partial names work, and you can search the debtor side, the secured-party side or both.

Is this a consumer credit report?

No. It returns public recorded documents for research and workflow automation. It is not a consumer report under the FCRA and must not be used to decide credit, employment, housing or insurance eligibility.
