For any property near Harrison, a quick Westchester County property owner search lists who the tax bill goes to. This county guide covers: which viewer to use, what trusts, estates and LLCs mean, and how to confirm with the deed around Harrison.
A Westchester County property owner search: start here
Use the Westchester County ArcGIS parcel map for a county property owner search; addresses, names and parcel numbers all work around Bedford.
The free map to start with
Your first stop is the Westchester County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps every tax parcel from Bedford to Lewisboro. Closer to White Plains, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. For a parcel near Greenburgh, save the parcel ID from that panel; each records desk in the county will want it.
What the owner name means
For a home near White Plains, the record lists the owner of record, sometimes a trust or LLC. "Estate of" on a record near Cortlandt often points to an open probate, and the executor handles questions.
A word on accuracy
Tax maps are drawn for assessment, not surveyed, so the edge of a yard near Harrison can sit a few yards off the line on screen. For a tract near Cortlandt, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Confirming with the deed
If the land is near Bedford, a viewer entry isn't legal proof; the recorded deed at the County Clerk is.
Getting answers from the right desk
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Cortlandt belong with the county Real Property Tax Services office, since that office keeps the assessment data. Zoning, permits and septic questions near White Plains go to planning, building or health offices, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Legal descriptions in New York
Older tracts around Greenburgh commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, listing bearings, distances and landmarks. Platted lots around Eastchester refer to a recorded plat, making them easier to find. Keep the legal description for land near Cortlandt before you request a deed or survey.
Tax data in the record
Many records show assessed value and taxes for land near Greenburgh; the county Real Property Tax Services office sets values and the treasurer or collector bills taxes.
