Running an Albertville property search step by step
The Marshall County parcel viewer is the free tool for this; addresses, names and parcel numbers all work.
Getting to the right map
Go first to the Marshall County parcel viewer; it includes every assessed parcel around Boaz and Guntersville. If you only know roughly where the land is, pan along the nearest road and click the parcel itself, which applies near Grant as much as anywhere. Out toward Guntersville, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and often a sale date.
How land is described here
Alabama is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Arab is described by section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though real sections near Guntersville vary in size. Write down the legal description for the tract near Arab before you request a deed or survey.
Where the recorded documents are
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements covering ground around Union Grove sit with the Judge of Probate (probate office). Long-held tracts around Douglas may go back through several deeds, and a title company is worth hiring on a real sale.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Marshall County meets Blount County, Cullman County, DeKalb County, Etowah County, and Jackson County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Ground near Grant that runs to the line can show up across two assessors' files, so open the adjacent map too. For a home near Douglas, the Platbookmapper state page lists each bordering county map for Alabama.
