County profile
Sheriff & Law Enforcement. Beaver County Sheriff's Office is responsible for law enforcement in the unincorporated areas of Beaver County.
Police Departments. Beaver County is served by several law enforcement agencies, including Beaver County Sheriff's Office and municipal police departments such as the Aliquippa Police Department, Ambridge Police Department, and Beaver Falls Police Department. Each department has jurisdiction over its respective city or town, while the Sheriff's Office covers the broader county area.
Law Enforcement & Arrests. Beaver County Sheriff's Office, located at 810 Third Street in Beaver, PA 15009, is the primary county law enforcement agency responsible for courthouse security, warrant service, prisoner transport, and civil process. Inmates housed at Beaver County Jail, located at 6000 Woodlawn Boulevard in Aliquippa, PA 15001, can be searched through the jail's inmate roster, which is accessible by contacting the facility at 724-378-8177 or through Beaver County website. Requests for arrest-related records are subject to Pennsylvania's Right-to-Know Law and applicable exemptions. The Pennsylvania State Police also maintains a barracks in Beaver County providing coverage to areas without local police departments.
Arrest Records. They are maintained by the arresting agency, primarily the County Sheriff's Office and municipal police departments.
Abandoned mine records
Where the workings are, and the office that holds the mine maps.
From the old mine records
The mine records hold 37 mine sites inside the county: 30 past producers, now closed, 1 prospect or occurrence that was never worked, 1 site producing when the record was made, 4 processing plants, which are not workings, 1 site with no status in the record; the old survey maps add 112 holes drawn inside the county, 21 of them shafts or tunnels. The minerals the records name are Flagstone; construction sand and gravel; Clay.
A point in either file is a location, not a property line: the sheet shows the opening on the surface, not the rooms under it. The record that shows what runs under a parcel is the mine map. The OSMRE National Mine Map Repository holds scanned underground mine maps and answers requests for a named mine or an area. DEP has an address lookup for mine subsidence risk at gis.dep.pa.gov/msiRisk where you enter a street address: if the site falls in a gray Underground Mining Area it is over or near a known mined area. The PHUMMIS inventory of historic underground mine maps sits at www.ahs.dep.pa.gov/Phummis and is linked from the DEP Act 54 maps page.
Rows taken off the old survey maps open the USGS record of what sits at that spot, because no single feature on those maps has a page of its own. Rows from the mine records open their own USGS page.
Beaver County sits over the Appalachian Region coal field and the coal there is medium and high volatile bituminous, worked underground in many places. The two federal files record a shaft, an adit or a deposit where one was drawn on a survey sheet or catalogued as a site; neither file carries the outline of the workings, so the counts above are not the measure of what was mined under this county. The record that shows it is the mine map, held by Pennsylvania Mine Map Atlas (DEP, hosted by Penn State) and linked below.
Pennsylvania abandoned mine maps ranks every county and town in the state by the workings recorded inside it, names the office that holds the mine maps, and says what to do if the ground moves.
Disclaimer: The mine information here is for general information only. Old mine records can be incomplete, outdated or wrong, and finding nothing here does not mean there is nothing there. Check with the mine map office named here before you rely on it, and have a qualified engineer look at any ground you are worried about.

Labor Department file
The U.S. Department of Labor's Wage and Hour Division closed 236 investigations in Beaver County since fiscal 2005 and recorded $1,621,311 in back wages agreed for 1,316 workers. The county is the one the Census Bureau puts each employer's ZIP code in. Snapshot of April 22, 2026; a case here is a finding by the Division, not a court judgment.

The Recorder's service description dates land recording to 1800 and describes a digitized collection covering deeds, mortgages, satisfactions, releases, covenants and other instruments. The office is on the first floor of the Third Street section of the courthouse. A property investigation can involve several document types, so do not stop at a deed when the question concerns a later mortgage discharge or restriction. The office records and certifies documents; it does not decide the legal effect of a disputed instrument. Military discharge records have different access rules from ordinary public land filings.
Beaver's Recorder research FAQ explains that its indexes follow party names rather than street addresses or tax parcel numbers. Use Assessment information to identify a likely owner, then search the recorded names and approximate transaction year. Earlier conveyance references in a deed can lead backward through the chain. Copies cost $1 per page; mailed copies add the stated $5 flat charge, and certification is another $1.50. Identify the exact document before requesting a total. The staff may explain the records, but the FAQ does not offer staff title searches or legal opinions. Follow the earlier recording references found within the instrument and keep a dated list of the documents retrieved. When a party appears under another spelling or a former name, try that wording separately and compare the property description before treating the entries as the same transaction.
The Recorder department announcement provides a free name-based fraud-alert service through its linked public search system. It warns that different property owners can share a name. An alert is therefore a reason to inspect the document and compare its parties and property description, not proof that a particular parcel was transferred. The department also carries a recording-fee increase notice effective December 1, 2025. Obtain the applicable current document charge before sending a recording payment; an older fee sheet found by search may predate the notice or concern another county office.
The old marriage-license instructions charge $5 to research each marriage, with a maximum of three marriages per request. Include the parties' names, the maiden name where relevant, a marriage date or estimate within five years, contact information and a stamped return envelope. The office reports the search results and additional copy cost. A certified marriage-license copy is $5; a copy of the application is $1. Those are different records and charges. Ask for the application when its additional family details are the research goal, and ask for the certified record when an organization requires formal proof.
The Register of Wills and Orphans' Court description lists local birth and death records from 1893 through 1906 and directs later vital-record inquiries to Pennsylvania Vital Records. The office also keeps estates, guardianship and Orphans' Court materials and requires appointments for new probate and marriage-license business. Give the event date before assuming a modern certificate request belongs at the courthouse. A historical register entry and a state-issued certified certificate are different products. For an estate search, use the decedent's name and filing clues rather than sending a generic request for a birth or death certificate.
The Prothonotary office description assigns civil proceedings to that office, including divorces, custody matters, judgments, tax liens and other civil filings. State the case type and the document needed so the request is not routed as a criminal case or a probate record. Public computer access and the county's authorized online route can help locate a docket. A recorded land instrument and a civil judgment that affects a property may sit with different custodians. The Prothonotary's filing role does not include presenting a motion to the court or advising how a lien changes ownership.
The Prothonotary copy FAQ lists $6 for a certified divorce decree, with an additional $10 search fee when the divorce predates 1995. Its instructions distinguish ordinary copies from certified copies and provide mail, counter and telephone routes. A mailed request should identify the parties, include the case number if known and provide a stamped return envelope. Card orders add postage and a convenience charge. The same FAQ explains that an image blocked in the online service can be requested from the office; a blocked image alone does not establish that the underlying docket document is unavailable.
Beaver's Open Records information page separates general county request materials from District Attorney policies and forms. Use the set belonging to the office that holds the requested record. For a formal request, identify existing documents and a date span rather than asking the agency to create an explanation of events. Keep the delivered request and any acknowledgment together. The Pennsylvania citizen guide explains the five-business-day initial response period and possible statutory extension. A court-file copy, a county administrative record and an investigative record can follow different access rules, even when all concern the same event.

Fee: $20 for each birth certificate; online orders add a $10 processing fee.
Business entity filings are searched with the Pennsylvania Department of State, Bureau of Corporations and Charitable Organizations. There is no general business license that all Pennsylvania businesses must obtain; licensing depends on the business activity and location, and owners contact their locality about local business licenses.
The Recorder indexes transactions by names. Use Assessment information to identify the relevant owner, then follow the Recorder's search guidance with the party name and approximate year.
The alert service tracks names and the county warns that names can be shared. Review the actual instrument through the service linked by the Recorder of Deeds.
No. The office distinguishes the research charge, a certified license copy and a copy of the application. Its historical marriage instructions explain the separate products.
