Westchester County Property Records Search | Free Lookup 2026

Start with the property address and confirm whether the property is in Yonkers, New Rochelle, White Plains, Mount Vernon, Greenburgh, Cortlandt, Yorktown, Rye, Scarsdale, Ossining, Peekskill, Bedford or another Westchester city, town or village. This matters because local offices handle many assessment and tax functions.

Look for section, block and lot on a tax bill, deed, mortgage document, assessment notice, closing statement or municipal property record. Search with those details first when available. If you only have an address, begin with the street number and main street name, then confirm the municipality and parcel on the map.

Compare municipality, section/block/lot, situs address, owner summary, property class, assessed value, land value, improvements and GIS location. Be extra careful with condos, co-ops, multi-family properties, tax-lot splits, mixed-use buildings, village boundaries and mailing addresses that differ from the physical property location.

Write down the municipality, section/block/lot, property address, owner spelling, account number if shown, and any deed or control number references. Use those details with the Westchester County Clerk for recorded documents and with the correct local tax receiver or tax collector for bills and payments.

Before searching recorded documents, collect the municipality, section/block/lot, property address, current owner name, prior owner name, trust or LLC name, approximate sale date and any document number, control number, liber/page or deed reference shown on paperwork.

Go to the Westchester County Clerk and look for land records, legal division, recorded documents, deeds, mortgages, document search, e-recording, copies or certified copy instructions. Follow the office’s current rules for online access, in-person help, mail requests or fees.

Try grantor, grantee, borrower, lender, trust name, business name, prior owner name, document number, control number, liber/page, recording date and document type. If an entity search fails, remove punctuation and search the core trust or business name.

After finding a mortgage, lien, deed, assignment or notice, search later recording dates for satisfactions, releases, corrective deeds, assignments, modifications, foreclosure-related filings or other follow-up documents. Do not assume a mortgage or lien is still active until you check for later satisfaction or release records.

Use assessment, GIS or property search resources to confirm the property’s municipality and section/block/lot. A postal address can be misleading in Westchester because villages, towns, school districts and mailing names may overlap.

From the Westchester County Government website or the municipality’s official site, locate the tax receiver, tax collector, finance department, online tax bill, payment portal or tax lookup page. Use only official local payment links before entering bank or card information.

Check the tax year, bill type, installment, due date, paid status, open balance, interest or penalty, and receipt details. If a mortgage servicer pays from escrow, compare the local payment status with your lender’s escrow history.

Save the municipality, SBL, tax year, bill type, payment date, amount paid, receipt number and confirmation details. If payment does not post or a duplicate payment appears, contact the local tax office through the official municipal website.
