Look on the NYS Tax Parcels Public layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer for parcels with no improvements, useful when you scan the area near Hague.
Pulling up a parcel
Begin with the NYS Tax Parcels Public layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer; it includes each tax parcel from Horicon to Lake George. When a rural tract has no street number, follow the nearest road on the aerial and select the outline, and that holds around Brant Lake too. For a tract near Brant Lake, copy the parcel ID while you have it open; every office in the county asks for it first.
Visiting the tract
Walk the land near Brant Lake and look for markers, fences and trails, noting road condition, neighbors and noise; the map won't tell you that.
Rights that may be separate
Rights below the surface near Horicon may belong to someone else, which a title search can uncover.
Legal descriptions in New York
Rural deeds near Lake George commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, listing bearings, distances and landmarks. Platted lots around Lake George refer to a recorded plat, making them easier to find. Keep the legal description for land near Johnsburg before you request a deed or survey.
The paper trail behind a parcel
When the details count, get the recorded deed from the County Clerk; the viewer just points to it, for land near Oneida Corners included. If you're looking near Lake George, bring the document number listed on the parcel record and the lookup takes minutes.
Access, acreage and lines
Make sure there's legal access, not just a path, as lenders near Kattskill Bay may balk at no access.
Before you lean on the lines
Closer to Chester, acreage on the record is an estimate; just a licensed surveyor can set the real corners on the ground. For acreage around Kattskill Bay, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
Who handles what
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Hague belong with the county Real Property Tax Services office, the office behind the parcel record. Building or septic questions for a lot near East Lake George are for the local planning and health departments, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Flood, wetlands and soils
For a homesite outside Kattskill Bay without sewer, soil suitability decides a lot.
