If a legal description for land in Dansville cites a lot number, the Dansville plat map is where those numbers come from. In this Dansville guide: where plats are filed, plat versus tax map, and what to look for on the sheet.
Who keeps the Dansville plat map
For a subdivision near Geneseo, the deed or parcel record often names the subdivision and plat reference; use it to request a copy.
Where the parcel data lives
Begin with the NYS Tax Parcels Public layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer; it maps every assessed parcel around Nunda and Springwater. If the land is near Nunda, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. With a lot near Springwater, write down the parcel ID while you have it open; each office in the county uses it to find the file.
Replats and vacations
An amended plat may change lots around Springwater, so check for later filings; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
Who handles what
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Leicester belong with the county Real Property Tax Services office, which maintains the tax roll. Building or septic questions for a lot near Conesus need the planning or permitting office, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
A quick look at the area
Geneseo is the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. Other places on the map include Springwater, Conesus, Nunda, and Mount Morris, each with its own cluster of lots. Around 61,158 people live in Livingston County (Census estimate, 2023) across roughly 632 square miles. Livingston County was formed in 1821, and some chains of title near Geneseo are long. Features like Genesee River and Letchworth State Park make handy reference points on the map near Nunda.
Reading the legal description
Tracts outside towns near Conesus are often described by metes and bounds, listing bearings, distances and landmarks. Platted lots around Conesus refer to a recorded plat, which is simpler to follow. Keep the legal description for land near Conesus when you talk to a surveyor.
Where Dansville fits in
Dansville sits in Livingston County, New York, which means parcel data comes from the county. For land near Mount Morris, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, while the county keeps the tax map. Acreage past the city limits toward Leicester generally follows county rules, not municipal ones.
Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Nunda, so load it before you lose signal. A screenshot of the parcel near Springwater with its ID keeps working without signal.
How a plat differs from the tax map
When the two disagree for a lot near Geneseo, go with the plat and a surveyor's work.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
When the details count, request the recorded deed from the County Clerk; the parcel map near Conesus only summarizes it. Inherited tracts near Conesus can trace back through a long string of deeds, and a title company earns its fee before a purchase.
When there's no plat
Rural land near Leicester that was never subdivided may have no plat at all; look for a recorded survey for land near Nunda.
Reading the plat sheet
Easements on the plat near Leicester stay with the land when it sells; check the plat notes and any covenants.
A word on accuracy
Listed acreage is an assessed number; only a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary on land around Conesus. For land near Leicester, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Online indexes and office visits
With a lot near Conesus, many recorder offices offer an online index, otherwise call or visit with the reference; small fees are common.
Land on the county line
Livingston County touches Allegany County, Genesee County, Monroe County, Ontario County, and Steuben County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Ground near Nunda that runs to the line can show up across two assessors' files, so check the neighboring map before you assume the acreage. With a lot near Nunda, the Platbookmapper state page links each neighboring county map for New York.
