Searching for a parcel, step by step
- Open the official link; the viewer runs on Esri's ArcGIS platform.
- Find the search control and type in a street address or parcel ID, or zoom in by hand.
- Click a parcel to see the attributes the publisher shares.
- Use any layer or basemap tools to add aerial imagery or other map layers.
Many parcel sites expect owner names last name first. If a full name finds nothing, try just the surname.
