Making sense of an Onondaga County parcel card
Owner fields on county records commonly name an entity: 'Estate of', 'et al' and 'c/o' entries near Syracuse each mean something different. Compare the mailing address with the location: a bank or law office address near Apulia hints at a trust or an estate, worth noting before you write. Owner names on the Onondaga County map lag behind the courthouse, so check the deed index if timing matters.
From the Onondaga County map to the recorded deed
To confirm who owns land near Cicero, order the latest deed from the county's recording office. If the Onondaga County record lists no document number, search the grantor-grantee index by the owner's name.
