Getting started with the Salamanca GIS map
With a lot near Olean, some cities also run their own GIS portal for utilities or zoning; that can add detail on top of the county map.
The free map to start with
Your first stop is the Cattaraugus County ArcGIS parcel map; it covers every tax parcel in the county, Franklinville included. Without an address in hand, follow Interstate 86 on the aerial and click the parcel itself. Out toward Ellicottville, write down the parcel ID while you have it open; each records desk in the county asks for it first.
When the map won't load
If the viewer stalls on a phone near Allegany, try a desktop browser or clear the cache; links occasionally change, and our directory page keeps the current one.
Salamanca and the county around it
Salamanca is part of Cattaraugus County, New York, so its parcels are on the county's map. For a parcel near Ellicottville, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Lots just outside the city limits out by Franklinville usually answers to county rules instead.
A word on accuracy
Acreage on the record is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real corners for a parcel near Olean. For property near Little Valley, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
Sections, lots and bearings
Older tracts around Little Valley are often described by metes and bounds, a series of courses and distances from a starting point. Platted lots around Franklinville refer to a recorded plat, which is simpler to follow. Keep the legal description for land near Ellicottville when you talk to a surveyor.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Cattaraugus County borders Allegany County, Chautauqua County, Erie County, Wyoming County, and McKean County, PA, all with their own assessor records. A tract near the line by Ellicottville can be split across two assessors' files, so open the adjacent map too. For land near Randolph, the Platbookmapper state page lists every neighboring county map across New York.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements for land near Olean sit with the County Clerk. Older tracts around Allegany can go back through several deeds, so a title company is worth hiring if money is changing hands.
Who handles what
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Allegany go to the county Real Property Tax Services office, which maintains the tax roll. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Ellicottville are for the local planning and health departments, town or county, depending on location.
Keeping a record
Print or screenshot the parcel near Allegany with its ID visible, which helps later when you ask the assessor or a title company.
