ARS Calculator Update- Suffolk County, NY

/in /by

The ARS Calculator has been updated to reflect a new fee in Suffolk County, New York. The county legislature approved an amendment to Local Law 26-2016 that adds a Mortgage Verification Fee of $300 per document on all mortgage related documents. This law goes into effect on January 1, 2017.

The Mortgage Verification Fee fee will apply to all mortgage related documents, such as, but not limited to, mortgages, mortgage assignments, CEMAs and mortgage satisfactions.

We stand behind our rate calculator, which is why we advise you to pull a new quote for each application, to ensure you are receiving a current fee. If you do not have access to our calculator, please inquire with us for a login.
