Finding a property on this map
- Open the link. This viewer is an ArcGIS Experience Builder app, so its layout is custom to the publisher.
- Look for a search box or search widget and type in a street address or parcel ID.
- Click a parcel to see its details in a pop-up or side panel.
- Check the toolbar for a layer list or basemap switcher if you want aerials or other layers.
If an address search comes up empty, try the parcel number from a tax bill or deed instead, or click the lot on the map.

Before you rely on the lines
The lines you see online are approximate. They're good for finding a lot and its parcel number, but a legal boundary question needs the recorded plat or a surveyor.
