When a deed near Goshen says lot and block, you'll need the Port Jervis plat map to make sense of it. This Port Jervis guide covers: where to request a copy, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and the details that matter to buyers.
Tracking down the Port Jervis plat map
For a lot in Port Jervis, the deed or parcel record often names the subdivision and plat reference; use it to request a copy.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Go first to the Orange County parcel viewer; it covers each assessed parcel in the county, Warwick included. With a lot near Warwick, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. Closer to Goshen, a pop-up or side panel usually lists the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and sometimes recent sales.
Replats and vacations
An amended plat may change lots around Middletown, so check for later filings; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
Reading the legal description
Tracts outside towns near Otisville are often described by metes and bounds, which trace the boundary call by call. Town lots near Otisville are typically described by lot and block, which is simpler to follow. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Unionville when you talk to a surveyor.
Where Port Jervis fits in
Port Jervis is part of Orange County, New York, and the county assessor maps its lots. On ground around Goshen, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, but the county runs assessment and recording. Lots just outside the town limits toward Warwick often answers to county rules instead.
When there's no plat
Acreage around Newburgh outside a subdivision may have no plat at all; look for a recorded survey for land near Otisville.

On site with the map

Limits of the parcel data
