If a legal description for land in Haverstraw cites a lot number, the Haverstraw plat map is where those numbers come from. What this Haverstraw guide covers: where to request a copy, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and what to look for on the sheet.
The Haverstraw plat map: start here
For a lot in Haverstraw, the deed usually cites the plat; bring that to the recorder's office or its online index.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Begin with the Rockland County parcel viewer; it includes each tax parcel around Stony Point and New City. In and around Clarkstown, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. In and around Orangetown, a pop-up or side panel normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and in many cases the last transfer.
City limits and county records
Haverstraw sits in Rockland County, New York, so its parcels are on the county's map. For land near Ramapo, City or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Lots just outside the town limits near Stony Point often falls under county rules instead.
Plat map vs. parcel map
The tax map on the Rockland County parcel viewer is a summary, while the recorded plat is the legal document.
Lots, blocks and easements
Utility or drainage strips on a lot in Haverstraw can block a shed or pool; check the plat notes and any covenants.
Before you lean on the lines
Acreage on the record is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor can set the real lines for a parcel near Clarkstown. On ground around New City, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.

Where the recorded documents are

Using it on a phone
