What the Nassau County Clerk needs in the envelope to record a deed, what it charges, and whether you can skip the envelope and e-record. Every fee below comes from the same data DeedScribe uses to write the clerk cover letter.
Where to record
Nassau County Clerk
240 Old Country RoadRoom 107Mineola, NY 11501The typical estate-planning transfer: an individual deeds a residence to the trustee of their own revocable trust for no consideration. Filled dots are required; hollow dots are good practice. The RP-5217 filing fee is $125.00 for residential or farm property and $250.00 for everything else (Real Property Law § 333(3)(ii), § 333(1-e)(iv)).
1. Sign and notarize
Print the Quitclaim Deed and have the grantor sign before a notary
Original signatures and an original acknowledgment; the Nassau County Clerk records the original (mail-in) or its scanned image (e-recording).
Sign the TP-584 (grantor and grantee)
Both parties sign Schedule D; the RP-5217 is signed by buyer and seller too.
2. Forms to enclose
Form TP-584, Combined Real Estate Transfer Tax Return
Filed with every deed whether or not tax is due.
Form RP-5217-PDF, Real Property Transfer Report — barcoded original
Print the barcoded PDF on legal-size paper; never photocopy or hand-fill it. The clerk scans the barcode. Do not flatten or rasterize this PDF when e-recording.

Transfer tax. New York State charges $2 for each $500 of consideration (or fraction), paid by the grantor, plus a 1% mansion tax paid by the grantee on residential conveyances of $1,000,000 or more. A transfer for no consideration — a deed into the grantor's own revocable trust, a gift — owes $0, but the TP-584 is still filed with the exemption claimed on Schedule B. Where tax is due most clerks want a certified or attorney escrow check. (Tax Law §§ 1402(a), 1402-a, 1404(a), 1405(b)(4), 1409(a).)

Mailing address from the County Clerk's Land Recording Guide (10/2022): 'To record documents in person or by mail, send to: Nassau County Clerk, 240 Old Country Road - Room 107, Mineola, NY 11501'. The older archived land-recording page and deeds.com say Room 105; the newer guide (Room 107) was used. Phone 516-571-2664 from the guide and Office Overview page (516-571-2660 appears on the archive page). Fee amounts from the county's Rev. 7/2020 Land Recording Fees PDF, which is the schedule currently linked on the Real Estate Fees page. Tax Map Verification Letter amount ($270) taken from the county's own TMV portal; the fee is collected by the Assessor's office, not the Clerk, and has been the subject of litigation and legislation, so re-check before quoting.
