[Adopted 8-5-2008 by L.L. No. 21-2008]
This law shall be known as the "Enhanced Personal
Privacy Protection for Recorded Documents Law."
In accordance with Subparagraph (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 Putnam
County Legislature authorizes the Putnam 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 Putnam
County Clerk has placed an image of such cover on the line, the County
Clerk shall make a good-faith effort to redact such information.
