Nassau County has notified local governments that a mailing is going around urging people to obtain a certified copy of their deed. These mailings are solicitations by private companies who will charge to obtain the deed for you. The charges for this service are up to $90, which is 1,700% higher than the County fee for the same service. A Certified deed may be obtained directly from the County Clerks Office or by mail using a form available at the Roslyn Village Hall. The fee is $5 if you go in person or $10 by mail.

The Village of Roslyn is in the final stages of a long overdue upgrade to the Village Hall's network server. The existing server which is over 12 years old had many incompatibilities with current-day work stations and software, including the inability to use "long file names". Long file names have been in use with windows operating systems for many years and virtually all software is now written with long file names. That aspect alone prevented the Village from updating to more current software for server applications. This upgrade is expected to make both the court and tax software operations more efficient and easier to use. Additionally, the Village can now move forward in implementing a full GIS system. GIS (Geographic Information System) allows the development of a geographically referenced map and associated database (geodatabase) which can store, display and retrieve geographic features and their associated information. Some examples include; all the tax parcels in the village, aerial photos, utility locations and information, flood zones, building locations and their use, zoning districts, overlay districts, and anything else that can be displayed geographically. Many of the Village maps in the "Publications" section of this site were made using base GIS data. The geodatabase map and the associated attributes for any particular feature will be accessible from each workstation in the Village Hall. The Village recently completed a grant application to have video tape of the sanitary sewer system digitized. If the grant is received the digitized images may be hyperlinked to the maps sanitary system overlay. By clicking on a section of pipe on the map, the images will be displayed along with details on pipe diameter, pipe material, distance from manholes, and other information to aid in maintenance and repair of the system. To learn more about GIS systems visit ESRI's Site.
