Land surveying in Norwood, NY
Norwood is just down the Raquette River from our Potsdam office. We survey village lots, riverfront property, and the farmland around the village.
Surveying in Norwood
The village of Norwood straddles the towns of Potsdam and Norfolk, so the first step on any job is knowing which town's rules and assessor apply to your parcel.
Norwood Lake and the Raquette give many parcels water frontage, and the rail corridor through the village adds right-of-way lines to check.
Common survey work in Norwood
- Boundary surveys for village homes
- Shoreline and depth surveys on Norwood Lake and the Raquette
- Topographic surveys for additions and drainage
- Lot line adjustments between neighbors
Records and filing
Deeds and filed survey maps for Norwood are recorded with the St. Lawrence County Clerk at 48 Court Street in Canton (records are searchable online through the county's IQS portal). A map that divides a parcel has to carry any required local planning-board signature before the Clerk will file it, and a map creating five or more lots of five acres or less also needs New York State Department of Health approval. Not every town in the county has a subdivision law, so we confirm the Village of Norwood and the Towns of Potsdam and Norfolk requirements before the map is drawn.
Is Norwood in the Town of Potsdam or Norfolk?
Both: the village spans the two towns. We confirm which one your parcel is in from the tax map.
How close are you to Norwood?
Our office is in Potsdam, a short drive up the Raquette.
Do you survey lakefront lots?
