RE: Laws of 1994, Chapter 205 Building Loan Agreement Filing Fees

Dear Associates:

The fee for filing building loan agreements or building loan modifications with the county clerk's office has been increased. In counties outside New York City, the charge is now $25.00 (up from $1.00). In the five counties within the City of New York, the charge has been increased to $50.00 (where it formerly was $25.00).

The statute (Ch. 205, L. 1994) amends that portion of the first paragraph of Lien Law §22 which relates to the filing fee, and was enacted on June 28, 1994, with an immediate effective date.
