Largest Landowners in New York

The most prolific landowners in New York — ranked by how many parcels each holds across every county this site publishes, acreage breaking ties.

Owners are grouped on the name each county publishes. Collapsing spellings that mean the same owner would merge holdings that really are one, and is worth doing — but a wrong merge attributes land to someone who does not own it, on a page that names them, so until those rules are tested against real deeds the county’s own spelling is what is published here.
