RE: Mortgage Recording Westchester County

Any mortgage being resubmitted for recording will have to pay the higher mortgage tax, with respect to the .25% increase unless an original Mortgage Resubmission Form is submitted along with the mortgage.  The form would have been sent with the returned mortgage.

As of June 30, 2006, the clerk will charge the higher tax on all resubmitted mortgages, even those with a Mortgage Resubmission Form.
