Local records and offices
Clinton County · local seller-record questions
The county identifies the Clerk’s Office as an official starting point for local seller-record questions. Use the property address and the specific record or notice when you contact the office.
Clinton County Clerk’s Office ↗Assessed value, an unpaid property-tax balance, a recorded deed, and a court judgment are different questions. Follow the current assessment, bill, record, or court notice to the office holding that information; for a sale, ask your closing attorney to review property-specific ownership, payoff, and judgment questions.
New York sale rule
New York State real estate transfer tax is $2 for each $500 of the sale price, or part of $500, when the price exceeds $500. That is $400 on a $100,000 sale before any local tax or exemption. The seller normally pays this base tax, but the sale agreement can provide otherwise. Local transfer taxes may add to it. A separate 1% mansion tax applies to residential sales of $1 million or more and is normally paid by the buyer.
Ask your closing attorney to show which taxes apply and how the agreement allocates them. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including New York State real estate transfer tax and any applicable local real estate transfer taxes. Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate.
