| About the Register of Deeds office: The Oneida County Register of Deeds has four full time deputies in addition to himself. The Register of Deeds implemented a computerized tract index and imaging system in 1997. Microfiche images of real estate recordings have been back-scanned through 1985 to provide efficient access. Because of so many summer cottages on the numerous lakes in the county, Oneida has nearly 60,000 tax parcels and there is a large influx of activity every summer. Efforts are being made to get the tax assessment information available on the county website. |
