Faxing to Erie County Clerk, New York — FAQ
The current line comes from the county's official website, since a public office's number changes. The county's official page names the recording office and whether it takes a request by fax. That one verification keeps a records request out of the wrong queue.
As a rule, no. The county clerk's office records an original document, so a fax is not how something is recorded in Erie County. Whoever handles the closing typically submits the instrument for recording rather than mailing it. Where fax fits is the copy or the search request, not the recording — and only where the office confirms it.
The county clerk's office maintains Erie County's recorded documents and answers the copy and search requests that come with them. A copy comes by mail, in person, or online depending on the county's setup. Confirm the county clerk's office's fax in Erie County before you send anything.
Recorded Erie County instruments are public, and a copy request is one of the things the office handles. Give the book-and-page or document number, or the party names and approximate recording date, to locate it. Ask the county clerk's office whether a faxed request is accepted and how the copy is returned and paid for.
