Please be advised that beginning Monday, February 3rd, 2025, the Montgomery County Clerk’s office will no longer require any map filings to be submitted on mylar. The County Clerk’s office will continue to accept mylar maps, however it is not a requirement. We will accept maps electronically through our e-recording vendors, on paper, and on mylar. This is in accordance with NY REAL PROP LAW 334;2-a:
“Notwithstanding any other provisions in this article, a county clerk may adopt a system to receive and retain maps utilizing an electro-mechanical, electronic or any other method they deem suitable for receiving and retaining maps.”
This policy change is being made as an extension of our records digitization efforts, as mylar does not produce the highest quality image, and to ease the financial burden for our constituents and stakeholders.
If you have any questions, please contact the County Clerk’s Office at (518) 853-8111.
