Posted on January 17, 2012 by Vintage

Schenectady announced today that starting February 1st, 2012 they will be charging an additional fifteen dollars ($15.00) per deed sent in for recording. The fee is for a real property tax service agency to designate a tax map endorsement number on the deed, listing the section-block-lot. No other information has been provided by Schenectady County. Until further notice Vintage will not be increasing our fees in Schenectady County due to this change.
**Update** Notice was just sent out yesterday by Schenectady County that this plan is being suspended indefinitely.

Nassau County Recordings

Posted on January 9, 2012 by Vintage

Due to recent layoffs at the Nassau County, recording of documents have been significantly affected. Recording times are being estimated at 15-20 business days. The County Clerk will only allow examiners to hand in 10 documents per day for recording. To avoid penalties and interest Vintage will be paying the Transfer Tax with the State of New York and then sending the documents for recording.

Delay in Kings Titles

Posted on November 21, 2011 by Vintage

On 12/5/2011 the Kings County Register’s Office will be moving their back chain and C&R books to the Queens County Register’s Office.  This will delay our abstracts at least a week due to the examiner having to travel to Queens to get the information and returning to Brooklyn to get the copies. We are unclear if this is permanent or just a temporary move.  We will keep you informed as changes arise.

Electronic Recording of Digital Documents

Posted on October 25, 2011 by Vintage

On September 25, 2011 Governor Cuomo signed into law an ACT that will amend the State Technology Law and Real Property Law regarding the recording of electronic documents.  This Bill authorizes County Clerks to require that conveyances of real property presented for recording be submitted as digitized paper documents or digital images of the original paper document.  It is unclear as of yet on how title companies such as Vintage will present the documents for recording and verify that they are a true digital copy of the original, but according to the bill this type of filing will not go into effect for 365 days from the date of signing. 

We will keep you up to date with any new information that comes in on this matter.

We have also attached a copy of the bill for you to take a look at.
