MONTICELLO, NY —Sullivan County’s Department of Real Property Tax Services has announced a new tax parcel information portal is now available to the public.

 “Known as ‘Beacon,’ the portal is a user-friendly, simple-to-understand web application that makes it easy to locate any public data about properties in Sullivan County—location, acreage, structures, purchase date(s), taxes, maps, aerial photos and a lot more,” explains Real Property Tax Services Director Christopher Knapp, noting that the County’s Division of Information Technology Services was instrumental in implementing this upgrade.

“This offering replaces our longtime Image Mate Online program but remains accessible in the same location: https://www.sullivanny.gov/Departments/RealProperty/PropertyAssessmentData,” adds Sullivan County Treasurer Kathleen Lara, whose office oversees Real Property Tax Services. “Beacon makes it easy to search for property records across the County, and I’m proud of how hard Chris and his crew have worked to update this vital, heavily-used service.”

“While the portal is designed to be intuitive, my office understands that people may have questions, and we are happy to assist,” Knapp says. “All questions and comments can be sent to taxmap@sullivanny.gov, and we will respond promptly.”
