[Adopted 8-5-2008 by L.L. No. 5-2008]
This article shall be known as the "Rockland County Recording and Endorsement Fee Law."
In accordance with Subparagraph a(2) of Paragraph 4 of Subdivision (a) of § 8021 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules, as amended by Chapter 78 of the Laws of 1989, the Rockland County Legislature authorizes the Rockland County Clerk to increase the fees charged for certain documents recorded with the County Clerk's office.
For recording, entering, indexing and endorsing a certificate on any instrument, the fee is increased from $5 to $20 and, in addition thereto, is increased from $3 to $5 for each page or portion of a page. For the purpose of determining the appropriate recording fee, the fee for any cover page shall be deemed an additional page of the instrument. A cover page shall not include any social security account number or date of birth. To the extent that the Rockland County Clerk has placed an image of such cover page on-line, the County Clerk shall make a good faith effort to redact such information.
