Livingston County (N.Y.) Records Management Department Non-Profit Charitable Corporation Reports, Tax Assessment Rolls and…

Arranged by type of record.

Microfilmed records include corporation reports, tax assessments, and marriage records. Corporation reports consist of inventories and certificates of incorporation. Similar information for more current corporations is included in the certificates of incorporation which also show purpose, place of business, officers, shares and share values and also include supporting documentation such as professional certification. These certificates were required to obtain authorization for legal conduct of business in the county. There are also certificates of incorporation and inventories of property of benevolent, charitable, scientific and missionary societies. These documents were filed by the county clerk pursuant to an act of 1848, as amended.

Warrant copies of tax rolls list property, owner, valuation, exemptions, reductions, and total amount due. Records also show when taxes were paid and include warrant to collect taxes for each town in the county.

Marriage license records (1908-1935) contain personal information on parties such as name, age, address, occupation, county of birth, parents' names, witness, and ceremonial data. These records were created by town and village clerks for recording in the office of the county clerk.
