RE: Amendment to Section 6 of the Tax Law
Please be advised that, effective July 1, 2025, all tax warrants must be filed electronically with the Office of the Secretary of State.
Pursuant to this change, the electronic filing of a tax warrant will result in the creation of a lien in all sixty-two (62) counties of New York State, irrespective of the property’s specific location.
It is currently unclear whether warrants will also be filed in the respective County Clerks’ Offices. Therefore, beginning July 1, 2025, searches for these warrants will include both the local County Clerk’s Office and the Department of State. Tax Warrant filings with the Department of State can be searched via the NYS Department of State’s Tax Warrant Search (link below).
