Mortgage Tax is computed by a formula based on 1.05% of the amount of the mortgage. If mortgage amount is less than $10,000.00, mortgage tax is figured at three-quarters percent. A $30.00 exemption applies if a mortgage qualifies for and contains the following statement: "The premises is or will be improved by a 1 or 2 family dwelling only." Cash or certified check payable to the Suffolk County Clerk is required for payment of taxes.

A mortgage, or portion thereof, that is illegible or not suited for imaging/filming will be rejected. The entire document should be in black print and ink. Blue or other color ink is unacceptable.
