Mortgage records and subdivision approval files

Arranged by type of record.

Microfilmed records include county clerk's real property mortgage records (1959-1965) documenting sale, transfer, and acquisition of property; Rockland County Department of Health realty subdivision approval files and drawings; and planning board minute books.

Realty subdivision approval files consist of environmental impact statements, subdivision drawings, correspondence, and work papers related to the approval of real estate subdivisions within the five towns of Rockland County. They are used by health officials to substantiate realty subdivision approvals or disapprovals as they relate to the environmental infrastructure (sewers, water system, and related components).

Also microfilmed were Rockland County Planning Board minute books (1936-1993).

Microform is available at the New York State Archives through interlibrary loan.

Reel list.

This microfilm was produced by a grant awarded and administered by SARA's Local Government Records Services for the 1992-1993 grant cycle. Grantees submitted two copies of each roll of project film: a silver copy for secure storage at the State Records Center; and a duplicate copy, containing only non-restricted records, for public use at the State Archives research room.

Use copies of rolls containing restricted records are not maintained by the Archives, and are withdrawn from public use at time of accessioning. Security copies of such rolls are held at the State Records Center and are subject to restrictions under law.

Restricted film was marked and use copies were weeded at time of accession; 148 rolls of master negatives (security copy) were sent to the State Records Center (TL 95-74, 75).

There are no restrictions regarding access to or use of the material.
