Karen Allen asked a good question yesterday about whether or not inclusion on the local register of Philadelphia historic places would show up on a title report. This got me thinking, and I realized that I have sold houses on, for example, the 4600 block of Hazel, which is designated - but I've never seen mention of the designation on Hazel Avenue title reports. So I took the question to a title clerk at SearchTec Abstract, and she has now replied:
