New Albany County Return Postage Policy
Posted Date: 8/11/2009
Attached please find a recent memorandum from the Albany County Clerk notifying us that they will no longer pay the postage for returning recorded documents. In order to serve our customers better, therefore, SMPR has established a Record and Return Service. SMPR will process and return documents following recording with the Albany County Clerk. Under our program, all documents submitted for recording must include a record and return address on the front page. This address will be crossed out and replaced with a record and return to the SMPR return box located at the Albany County Clerk’s Office – Box 8. After the clerk has returned the original document to the SMPR box, we will mail the document to the original, crossed out record and return address.
To defray the costs of processing, postage, and supplies, SMPR will collect a $10.00 fee for all transactions closing on or after August 24, 2009.
As always, we appreciate your cooperation and continued business and if you have any questions or concerns regarding our Program, please feel free to contact the Albany Office of SMPR.
