Fitchburg Satellite Office Closing on 11/30/12

As of November 30, 2012, the Worcester District Registry of Deeds will permanently close its Fitchburg Satellite Office.

The Worcester District Registry of Deeds opened the Fitchburg Satellite Office in 2006 in order for users in the northern part of the Worcester District to record documents without the need to travel to the Registry of Deeds in Worcester. Due to the implementation of our electronic recording program, these concerns have been largely alleviated. In addition, the closure of the Satellite Office is aligned with our on-going efforts to reduce costs while providing the best possible user experience.

Pre-1960 Grantor and Grantee Indicies Available Online

The Worcester District Registry of Deeds is proud to announce the pre-1960 Grantor and Grantee are now available online at MassLandRecords.com. The online resource can be searched by name and links users to high quality scans of the Index books. With the completion of this project, substantially all of the Registry's records can be searched for online in connection with the Unindexed Property search.

Review of 2009 and Preview of 2010

In 2009, the Registry of Deeds completed an inventory of all microfilm, plans, aperture cards, and County Commissioner's records. Also, the Registry began indexing and key stroke verifying previously un-indexed records from 1965 back to 1961, which will continue into 2010. Other goals for 2010 include replacing aging microfilm with new film made from digital images and implementing electronic recording.
