Land (Deed) Recording

Required Form:

If you know which kind of Deed best suits your needs (Warranty Deed, Quitclaim Deed, Bargain & Sale Deed, Referee’s Deed, etc.) and you’re comfortable drafting the Deed on your own, you can obtain a Deed at a stationary store that sells legal forms or you can download one on the internet.

Otherwise, we’d recommend you consult a real estate attorney to have a new Deed drafted.

Required Tax Forms:

• TP-584 and Instructions
• RP-5217 and Instructions
• IT-2663 and Instructions (for Out-of-State Sellers)

Important Notes:

• All deeds submitted to the Oneida County Clerk must include a legal description of the property, along with a copy of the full deed.
• It is required that both the Grantor(s)’ and Grantee(s)’ full names and physical addresses be on the document along with their original, notarized signatures.
• ** There is not to be any white out, nor redaction on the document. Should an error need correction, we recommend a new deed be drawn. In the event a new deed cannot be produced, we ask that the error be crossed out with a single line and initialed by the corrector. **
• If any of these requirements are not fulfilled, the Deed will be rejected due to noncompliance.

 (Mortgage, Consolidated Mortgage, Correcting Mortgages)

*Note that each mortgage constitutes one cross reference. For example, if three (3) mortgages (recited in the Discharge) have been assigned and consolidated by one Discharge, then three (3) cross references will be charged. ($1.50 in addition to Recording Fee)
