New DBA Filings
A DBA is a filing to use an assumed business name. A filing alone does not show that the business is open or licensed. The counts below are initial certificates only and exclude amendments and discontinued names. County listings remain unconfirmed where noted.
| County clerk source | September 2026 | October 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| Jefferson | Not yet confirmed | Not yet confirmed |
| Lewis | Not yet confirmed | Not yet confirmed |
| St. Lawrence | Not yet confirmed | Not yet confirmed |
| Franklin | Not yet confirmed | Not yet confirmed |
| Essex | 44 new certificates | 34 new certificates |
| Clinton | Not yet confirmed | Not yet confirmed |
| Oswego | Not yet confirmed | Not yet confirmed |
Essex counts come from the Essex County Clerk’s public index, which showed records checked through November 9. In the guest search, choose the DBA group, the Doing Business As document type, and the recording date range. The results do not list a municipality, so the figures are countywide.
Most recent Essex certificate shown in the September–October index: Goff Land Surveying, filed October 29, 2026. The trade name was checked against the county certificate.
Corporations and certain other entities file assumed-name certificates with the New York Department of State. Those filings are a separate source, not a replacement for county business certificate records.
