RE:
Recording Tax, Dutchess County
Effective November 1, 2007, the new rate for mortgage tax in Dutchess County will be $1.30 (lender’s portion being .25).
The tax is AS OF THE DATE OF RECORDING, not the date of the mortgage. It is imperative not to hold a mortgage and submit it after November 1, or there will be additional tax due.
