WPCNR County Clarion-Ledger. From Westchester County Department of Communications. April 27, 2004: Westchester County Clerk Len Spano announced Monday that his website, www.westchesterclerk.com <http://www.westchesterclerk.com>, not only offers more user-friendly features and information than ever, but now includes online access to the records of the County Clerk's Land Records and Legal Divisions-- from anywhere you can access the Internet!
Such information includes records pertaining to deeds, mortgages, judgments, casebook transactions, lis pendens, liens and businesses certified in Westchester County. This information was once only available upon a visit to the office, located in downtown White Plains or mail-in request.
"My office is always looking for new and better ways to link the public to their records," said Spano. "Westchester residents have busy lives and may not be able to make it into our office during business hours. This is a great tool that will save them time and money by allowing them to access these records 24 hours a day, 7 days a week-- fee free."
At this point, the online public viewer is information based, however, in the upcoming months advanced features will allow for full images of documents to be viewed and printed online. Also, the County Clerk's will be commencing a project within the next few months to scan deeds filed with the office prior to 1967. With more image records soon available, Internet access promises to be even more beneficial.
In addition to the introduction of the "public viewer" feature, the site also offers visitors a more user-friendly design, more downloadable forms and a page dedicated to the needs of Westchester County's Spanish-speaking residents.
"I encourage County residents to explore the exciting capabilities of this new service," invited Spano. "However, as always, my staff will be here to assist you in finding all the information you need."
