Pulling up a parcel
Your first stop is the Moore County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps each assessed parcel from Pinehurst to Southern Pines.

For property near Pinebluff, the record panel normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and often a sale date.
A word on accuracy
