The Land Records Committee has information about Suffolk County and Richmond County.

Effective next week Suffolk County will be implementing a new procedure regarding title searching.

Appointments for examiners in Suffolk County will be made by the individual examiner which will replace the previous process of the county assigning the appointment. An email announcement regarding this change was sent to all registered examiners and a follow up email complete with details and the registration link will be sent this week by the County Clerk.

An examiner must have an access pass to make an appointment.   

Richmond County has informed me they are holding all recorded documents since early 2020.

The date they will begin mailing back the R&R is to be determined. This delay is due to work shifts that have been adjusted/altered and the Richmond County Clerk wants to make certain that the quality assurance process is tight.  Requests for documents cannot be made at this time as they will not remove any documents out of sequence.

A status update is expected from the County Clerk by 9/14/20.
