County recording guides · 2026

Recording a deed in New York, county by county

Every county clerk has its own address, fee schedule and quirks — Nassau's tax map verification letter, Suffolk's legal-size endorsement page, Westchester's PREP portal. These guides are generated from the same county data DeedScribe uses to write cover letters and fee estimates, and reviewed against the clerks' sites (last review 2026-09-04).

New York City — ACRIS

The five boroughs record through the Department of Finance's ACRIS system. The cover page and tax returns are created online; no paper TP-584 or RP-5217 is mailed.

The 57 counties outside the city — county clerk

Each county clerk records by mail, in person, or through an e-recording vendor. The deed travels with a paper TP-584, a barcoded RP-5217, and a check.

General information for New York practitioners, not legal advice. Fees and addresses change without notice; confirm with the clerk before mailing. See how DeedScribe builds the package in the demo.
