This refers to the official, publicly accessible graphical representation of property boundaries within a specific geographic area of New York State. These documents delineate individual parcels of land and provide associated data for taxation purposes. For example, a specific parcel’s identification number, acreage, and owner of record can be found on these resources.
Such resources are vital for a multitude of reasons. They facilitate accurate property assessments, which are fundamental to the fair and equitable distribution of local tax burdens. Moreover, these resources are essential tools for real estate professionals, land surveyors, and prospective property owners seeking detailed information about specific plots of land. Historically, the creation and maintenance of these resources involved manual surveying and cartography, but they are now largely digitized and readily accessible online, improving efficiency and transparency.
