RE:
Westchester PREP recording System
PREP System Update
Acceptable Tax Forms
Effective immediately, the Office of the Westchester County Clerk will accept RP-5217 forms and TP-584 forms with cross outs and corrections provided:
- The signed version of the relevant tax form was created via the PREP System; and
- Any changes to the tax form have been initialed by the necessary parties; and
- The form has been edited via the PREP System to incorporate the hand-written changes; and
- Both the unsigned “corrected” form and the signed form are presented to our office.
In exceptional circumstances only our office will accept RP-5217 forms and TP-584 forms which were not created on the PREP System. However, the circumstances must be exceptional and outlined in a written request to our office.
