Tax Warrants Now Searchable on the NYS Tax Department Website New online tool provides easy access to tax warrants and the tax debt owed The New York State Department of Taxation and Finance today announced the availability of a new search tool on its website to ease access to information about open tax warrants. By making this already public information more easily accessible, news media, researchers, and others who may be interested now have more efficient access to the latest balances owed by tax debtors. “We are continually striving to enhance the way in which we interact with taxpayers, the news media, and all New Yorkers,” said Acting Commissioner Amanda Hiller. “This new search tool, which can be used by anyone at any time to access public information, is another step in our effort to improve the taxpayer experience.” The New York State Tax Warrants search tool is available 24/7 and doesn’t require a log-in or account to access. It’s updated regularly to provide current warrant balances, which was previously unavailable online and could only be obtained through an official request to the Tax Department Public Information Office. This new search feature provides access to data on open tax warrants only. When a tax debt is paid in full, the warrant is satisfied and no longer accessible using the search tool. For information on a satisfied warrant, visit the New York State Department of State's Tax Warrant Notice System. The Tax Department files a tax warrant with the appropriate county clerk and the NYS Department of State when a taxpayer with fixed and final tax debt fails to resolve it. For more information

Gov. Hochul signs RON bill Governor
Hochul has signed the RON bill (S1780/A399) with chapter amendments
that she negotiated with the Legislature. Shortly after convening the
Legislature in early January, the amendments will be passed by the
Senate and the Assembly. |
|
Part One takes effect when the amendment is passed
in January. At that time, remote notarization will be permitted for
paper and electronic documents, so-called RIN, Remote Ink-signed
Notarization. The RIN process has previously been in use under Executive
Order, issued during the pandemic.
Part One of the bill “sunsets” on January 31, 2023.
Part Two provides a period of time for the
Secretary of State to develop guidelines and regulations for true remote
online e-notarization. On January 31, 2023, the bill will allow
notaries public to register with the Secretary of State as an electronic
notary public to perform in-person electronic notarization and remote
notarization for electronic documents.
As always, if there are questions, agents should refer to instructions from their underwriter.
Land Title will prepare a FAQ document in the coming weeks.
