Islip is the second-largest town in Suffolk by parcel count, running along the South Shore from the Great South Bay inland. Tax map numbers begin with district 0500. The Town publishes its full zoning schedule to a public GIS, so every parcel here carries a zoning district — from the AAA and AA residential zones to the BUS commercial series.
How to read an Islip tax map number
Suffolk County identifies every parcel by a 19-digit Suffolk County Tax Map number (SCTM). It is written in four parts, and each part narrows the location:
- District
- 0500 — the town. Every parcel in Islip begins with these four digits.
- Section
- A numbered map sheet within the town.
- Block
- A group of parcels on that sheet, usually bounded by streets.
- Lot
- The individual parcel. Sub-lots appear after the decimal when land is split.
A Islip tax map number therefore looks like 0500-123.00-01.00-005.000. Unlike a street address it does not change when the property is sold, which is why deeds, tax bills and assessment records all key on it.

About this data
ParcelIntel is built and operated by Chokdee Properties LLC, a home builder working in Suffolk County. We assembled this map because we needed it ourselves — to check lot lines, zoning and wetlands before committing to a parcel. Parcel geometry comes directly from the Suffolk County tax parcel layer and attributes from islip, nys; nothing here is modelled or estimated.
It is a reference tool, not a survey. Boundaries are as digitised by the County and are not a legal determination of title, buildability or regulatory status. For those, consult the Town of Islip and a licensed surveyor.
