Where the parcel data comes from
It is a county-level map: Bourbon County or the company it hires keeps the parcel layer up to date. Our October 2026 check found the map open to the public, with no account or payment needed.
Searching for a parcel, step by step
- Open the link to ORKA, the parcel viewer hosted on kansasgis.org that many Kansas counties share.
- Read and accept the intro or disclaimer page to reach the map.
- Search by owner, street address or parcel ID, or click a lot on the map.
- Open the parcel details to see the appraisal information the county shares.
Rural addresses don't always geocode well. When that happens, zoom in by hand and click the parcel, or search by owner name.
