County Clerk Puleo Launches OnLine Property Kiosk

Suffolk County Clerk Vincent Puleo recently announced the launch of the Suffolk County Clerk’s Office on-line property kiosk. The new property kiosk allows homeowners the visibility to see records recorded against their property, including deeds, mortgages, liens and Uniform Commercial Code filings.

“The most frequent question we receive through phone calls and e-mails is to ascertain whether a document that was submitted to the County Clerk’s Office has been recorded,” stated Suffolk County Clerk Vincent Puleo. “With the property kiosk now available on our website, residents can see records for their property in real time and even purchase copies if necessary.”

The property kiosk is searchable by the property’s unique nineteen-digit Suffolk County tax map number or street address. A list of all deeds, mortgages, liens and Uniform Commercial Code filings are displayed with specific details about each document, such as the purchaser, seller, mortgage company, etc. The document itself is not displayed, however a certified copy of the document can be purchased by credit card and received via e-mail.

“Suffolk County spans over 80 miles and I know it’s not easy for everyone to make the trip to Riverhead to search or obtain needed property records. Whether you’re trying to determine if your bank recorded proof that your mortgage has been paid off and satisfied or obtaining a copy of the deed to your home, the new property kiosk will allow you to search or obtain copies from your home or office,” commented Puleo.

The property kiosk is not only beneficial for homeowners, but also a very powerful tool for attorneys, banks, realtors and any other industry or profession that needs access to property ownership and land record information. In the months to come, the Suffolk County Clerk’s Office will launch the Home Owner Watch List. Once registered with the Home Owner Watch List, users will receive an e-mail whenever a new document is recorded against their property. This will allow them to verify whether it’s a legitimate recording and not part of any recent scams that have occurred of late using fraudulent deed and mortgage documents.

“As my team and I continue to navigate through the County’s recovery from the 2022 cyberattack, it is my goal to continue to make more of our records accessible to the residents of Suffolk County in a safe, efficient and reliable manner,” concluded Puleo.
