In order to view PA-34s conveniently, your Web browser must be able to display .tif images. Most browsers will not display .tif images unless you add a viewer that is capable of displaying this type of image. If you have already set up your browser with such a viewer (or your browser inherently has this capability), you should be able to click on the PA34 link on the Teledex detail page and automatically view the PA-34 on your computer. If when you click on the PA34 link, instead of showing the PA-34, your browser displays the "File Download" box with the Open/Save choice, you will need to download and install an image file viewer into your browser. You will only have to do this once. Thereafter, you will be able to view the PA34s simply by clicking on the PA34 link.
One such viewer is the AlternaTiff viewer. It seems to work
and it is very simple to use. The AlternaTiff link below will
direct you to a website where you can get this free image file
viewer for your browser. Follow the instructions on the site to
load the viewer or get your local computer enabled person to help
you. In general, you will need to download the viewer to your
local hard drive, install the viewer into your browser and
restart your browser before continuing.

Note that AlternaTiff viewer is only one of many such viewers.
You can, of course, use any compatable image viewer. This link

consequences to you of using such a viewer. RDC can provide only
limited support for installation and use of a viewer.
New Hampshire law currently requires all buyers of real estate
to file a PA34. There are no exceptions. The PA34 identifies the
property and provides information about the circumstances of the
sale. The questions about the circumstances of the sale are
designed to help the New Hampshire Department of Revenue
Administration determine whether or not the sale was an
"arms length" sale for purposes of the Department's
statewide Equalization program. All grantees are required to sign
the form, certifying under penalties of RSA 74:18 that the
information on the form is true and accurate to the best of their
knowledge and belief. Willful failure to file the PA34 or making
false statements is considered a legal violation. PA34s are
public records.
The PA34 must be filed within 30 days of the sale or the
recording whichever is later. In practice, PA34s will become
available on Teledex for more than half of all sales within about
two months of the date of record. As of the end of the 2000
calendar year, PA34s are available for better than 90% of all
sales within approximately five months of the date of record.
There will occasionally be more than one PA34 for a sale. This happens for many different reasons. It is a good idea to look at all the PA34s for any sale since sometimes the later PA34 is filed to make corrections and sometimes the buyer(s) simply provide different information for some of the items on each form.
