Scope and Content Note

Microfilmed records include county clerk's real property mortgage records (1959-1965) documenting sale, transfer, and acquisition of property; Rockland County Department of Health realty subdivision approval files and drawings; and planning board minute books.

Realty subdivision approval files consist of environmental impact statements, subdivision drawings, correspondence, and work papers related to the approval of real estate subdivisions within the five towns of Rockland County. They are used by health officials to substantiate realty subdivision approvals or disapprovals as they relate to the environmental infrastructure (sewers, water system, and related components).

Also microfilmed were Rockland County Planning Board minute books (1936-1993).
