A national commercial lighting supplier asked our TRADITION LIEN SERVICE division to record a NEW YORK Notice Under Mechanics Lien Law For Account Of Private Improvement on a new hotel in Malta, NY within Saratoga County. The county is bordered by the Hudson and Mohawk Rivers and bisected by the Adirondack Northway. Saratoga County has consistently been the fastest-growing county in Upstate New York according to Wikipedia.

The Saratoga County Clerk’s Office fees to record are as follows: Recording fee of $15, and Affidavit fee of $5. There is NO CHARGE to release a lien. Make checks payable to SARATOGA COUNTY CLERK and they will accept out-of-state business checks.

An important note is that the county does NOT return back the original lien copy after it records. You must include a conformed copy OR complete an online records application with the county. After one business day you will be emailed a logon and password that will enable you to print out and save a recorded lien or release.

Claimants are required to file suit to foreclose on a NEW YORK Notice Under Mechanic’s Lien Law For Account Of Private Improvement within one (1) year from the date the lien was recorded.
