New York is the main search. Pennsylvania stays in the side view.

04 / SOURCE COVERAGE

Good land research starts at the source.

See the county records, parcel evidence and source checks behind the research. Understand both the coverage and the gaps.

THE RESEARCH FIELD GUIDE

Know what the research can establish

01

Start with the county and parcel

Match the property’s location and identifiers to the relevant records. County research, sample records and a source directory serve different purposes; a sample is not complete coverage of every property in a county.

02

Check the evidence date

The time a request was made is different from the date of a successful field check. Read the recorded check status and any access or freshness limitations before relying on a research result.

03

Keep unresolved facts visible

Conflicting acreage, uncertain boundaries and missing instruments are research questions. Follow the linked source, retain the original description and keep unsupported conclusions out of your property comparison.
