Finding a property on this map
- Open the link to the Beacon site from Schneider Geospatial. If a terms or disclaimer window appears, agree to it to continue.
- Use the search bar to look up a street address, an owner's name or a parcel ID. Beacon sites usually also have a dedicated property search page.
- Click a lot on the map and then open its report for assessment and property details.
- Use the layer and basemap controls to add aerial photos or other layers the county publishes.
Rural addresses don't always geocode well. When that happens, zoom in by hand and click the parcel, or search by owner name.
