Form MT-15 ("Mortgage Recording Tax Return") is used to compute New York State's mortgage recording tax when a mortgage encumbers property in more than one locality and different rates of mortgage recording tax apply. A revised Form MT-15, effective December 1, 2009, has been issued by the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance. The revised form sets forth the mortgage recording tax rate in effect in each County as of December 1, taking into account the change in the mortgage tax rate in Dutchess County on December 1 to $1.05 for each $100.00 of principal indebtedness secured. Revised Form MT-15, with Instructions, is posted at http://www.tax.state.ny.us/pdf/2009/mortgage/mt15_1209.pdf
