Searching for a parcel, step by step
- Open the official link. The viewer is built with ArcGIS Web AppBuilder; if a disclaimer pops up, accept it to continue.
- Use the search widget, usually in the upper left, to find a street address or parcel ID.
- Click a parcel to open its info window.
- The widget bar holds extras such as the layer list, basemap switcher, measure and print tools.
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.
