Land surveying in Saranac Lake, NY
Saranac Lake is in the heart of the Adirondack Park. We survey village lots, lakefront property, and wooded parcels in the Franklin County side of the area.
Surveying in Saranac Lake
The village of Saranac Lake spans two counties: the Harrietstown portion is in Franklin County, while other parts are in Essex County. The county determines where records are searched and maps are filed, so we confirm it on the first call.
Lakefront and riverfront parcels on the Saranac chain bring shoreline, setback, and Adirondack Park Agency questions along with the boundary work.
Common survey work in Saranac Lake
- Boundary surveys for village and lakefront property

Records and filing
Deeds and survey maps for Saranac Lake are recorded with the Franklin County Clerk at 355 West Main Street in Malone, whose online records reach back to the county's earliest deed books and maps. Current tax maps come from Franklin County Real Property Tax Services in the same building. We pull the deed chain and any filed maps before field work so the corners we look for match the record. Parcels on the Essex County side of the village record with the Essex County Clerk instead.
