Land surveying in Parishville, NY
Parishville is just southeast of our Potsdam office, where farmland gives way to the Adirondack foothills along the St. Regis River.
Surveying in Parishville
Parishville parcels range from open fields near the hamlet to large wooded lots and camps further south. Old logging roads, stone walls, and blazed trees are often the best field evidence of where a line runs.
The southern part of the town is inside the Adirondack Park, which matters if you plan to subdivide or build.
Common survey work in Parishville
- Boundary surveys for wooded lots and camps
- GPS surveys for large forest parcels
- Subdivisions and lot line adjustments
- Topographic surveys for septic and house sites
Records and filing
Deeds and filed survey maps for Parishville 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 Town of Parishville requirements before the map is drawn.
How close are you to Parishville?
Our Potsdam office is a short drive away.
Can you find old corners in the woods?
Usually. Where a corner is gone, we set a new one.
Do I need Adirondack Park Agency approval to split my land?
Possibly, if the parcel is inside the Park. We check before drawing the map.
