Tax parcel lookup for New York's least populous county, deep in the Adirondacks
Hamilton County sits almost entirely within Adirondack Park and is New York's least populous county — a landscape of lakes, forest, and small hamlets more than towns. Lake Pleasant, the county seat, reflects the county's character: rural, wooded, and built around its lakes rather than any single population center.
NY Property Peek's dataset includes nearly 13,000 individual tax parcels across Hamilton County, each with details like year built, square footage, bedroom and bathroom counts, and school district where available — pulled from New York State's statewide tax parcel records.

Every figure above is counted directly from the 12,947 Hamilton County records in this site's copy of New York State's statewide tax parcel dataset — none of it is estimated or modelled. Assessment records are a snapshot of what each assessor filed, so an individual parcel can be out of date or incomplete. Nothing here is a title search or a legal description of a property.
