Richmond County, New York

Not yet — Richmond County does not currently accept electronic recording. Real estate documents must be submitted as paper originals to the County Clerk's office, by mail or in person. Counties adopt e-recording on their own schedules, so this status can change; we review eligibility regularly.

Richmond County is home to about 498,212 residents (U.S. Census Bureau, 2024 estimate), ranking 10th by population among the 62 New York jurisdictions in this directory. Its population has grown about 0.6% since 2020. Typical home values in the county are around $728,000 (Zillow Home Value Index, May 2026), so promptly and correctly recorded deeds and liens matter for buyers, sellers, and lenders here.

New York real estate documents are recorded with the County Clerk. In New York City, the four boroughs other than Staten Island record through the NYC Department of Finance's City Register (ACRIS system); Staten Island (Richmond County) records with the Richmond County Clerk.

You can still notarize documents online with Notaron even though this recorder requires paper submission — RON is valid for recordable documents in New York. After the online notarization, print the notarized output (or have us ship it) and submit it to the recording office the traditional way.
