§ 8019. County clerks generally. (a) Application. The fees of a county clerk  specified in this article shall supersede the fees allowed by any other  statute  for  the  same  services,  except  in  so  far  as   the administrative  code  of  the city of New York sets forth different fees for the city register of the city of New York and the  county  clerk  of Richmond, and except that such fees do not include the block fees as set out  in  the  Nassau  county  administrative  code or the tax map number verification fees on instruments presented for recording  or  filing  as set  out  in  the  Suffolk  county  administrative code, which are to be charged in  addition  to  the  fees  specified  in  this  article.  This subdivision  does  not apply to the fees specified in subdivision (f) of section 8021.  (b) Legible copies. Whenever a  paper  or  document,  presented  to  a county  clerk  for  filing  or  recording,  is  not legible or otherwise suitable for copying or  recording  by  the  photocopying  process,  the county  clerk  may require a legible or suitable copy thereof along with such paper or document, and the same fees shall be payable for the  copy as are payable for the paper or document.  (c)  Notice  to  county  clerk.  A county clerk need not make an entry which is required by a court order unless proper notice is given to  the clerk by a party to the action or a person legally interested therein.  (d)  Exemptions  for  state  or  city of New York. A clerk of a county within the city of New York shall not charge or receive any fee from the city of New York or the state of New York or from any agency or  officer of either acting in official capacity.  (e)  Size  of page and type. For purposes of this article, the size of each page accepted by a county clerk for recording  and  indexing  shall not  exceed  nine inches by fourteen inches, except that in the counties of Cattaraugus, Columbia, Delaware, Herkimer,  Monroe  and  Otsego,  the size  of  the  page shall not exceed eight and a half inches by fourteen inches, and every printed portion thereof shall be  plainly  printed  in not  smaller than eight point type. The county clerk acting as recording officer may in special circumstances accept a page exceeding the size or with smaller print than that prescribed herein, on  such  terms  and  at such  fee,  subject  to  review  by  the  supreme  court, as he may deem appropriate, but the fee for such recording and indexing  shall  not  be less than double the fees otherwise chargeable by law therefor.  (f)  Copies  of  records. The following fees, up to a maximum of forty dollars per record shall be payable to a county clerk  or  register  for copies  of  the  records  of  the  office except records filed under the uniform commercial code:   1. to prepare a copy of any paper or record on  file  in  the  office, except  as  otherwise provided, sixty-five cents per page with a minimum fee of one dollar thirty cents;   2. to certify a  prepared  copy  of  any  record  or  paper  on  file, sixty-five  cents  per  page  with  a minimum fee of five dollars twenty cents;   3. to prepare and certify a copy of any record or paper on  file,  one dollar twenty-five cents per page with a minimum fee of five dollars;   4.  to  prepare  and  certify  a  copy  of  a certificate of honorable discharge, except as provided for in the military law, two dollars fifty cents; and   5. to prepare a copy of any paper or record on file in the office in a medium other than paper, the actual cost of reproducing  the  record  in accordance with paragraph (c) of subdivision one of section eighty-seven of the public officers law.
