The Office of the Westchester County Clerk accepts Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), Federal Tax Lien (FTL), Other Federal Lien (OFL), and Notice of Common Charge (NCC) filings. In order to file any of these documents, your filing must: (1) Be neatly typed or legibly printed; (2) be completely filled in, providing all required information such as any applicable section, block and lot; and (3) be accompanied by the proper filing fee in the form of a check or money order made payable to Westchester County Clerk. As UCC forms are not land records, you do not need to submit a Land Records Recording Sheet with your UCC filing. For more information on UCC filings, please visit the NYS Department of State Website.
If you would like an acknowledgement of your filing, please be sure to provide a copy of the original filing and a self-addressed, stamped envelope.
E-Filing of UCC's
As of Monday, June 2, 2008, the Office of the Westchester County Clerk has begun accepting UCC's via E-Filing. The system exactly replicates the standard UCC forms and is just as easy as filing a paper UCC, without having to deliver the physical copy to this office. Additionally, the system is able to recognize many mistakes and omissions in the filings. The number of rejected filings is reduced by alerting the user of problems and preventing the submission of deficient documents until recognized errors are corrected. Additionally, New York State statute permits us to charge a reduced processing fee of $20 for UCC's submitted without a co-op addendum, instead of the $40 statutory fee for paper filed UCC's.
You may acquaint yourself with the UCC E-Filing system by reading through the step-by-step User Manual, which can also be found from within the UCC E-File application by clicking the Help link at the bottom of any page of the system.
