Opening the official parcel viewer
Go first to the Kings County ArcGIS parcel map; it includes every assessed parcel in the county, Lemoore included.

For acreage around Corcoran, the record panel typically gives the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and sometimes recent sales.
Getting your bearings
Hanford serves as the county seat, home to the main records offices. Smaller places on the map include Corcoran and Lemoore, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Roughly 152,682 people call Kings County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) on some 1,391 square miles. Places such as Tulare Lake make handy reference points on the map near Lemoore.
Replats and vacations
An amended plat may change lots around Lemoore, so check for later filings; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
A word on accuracy
Parcel lines are drawn for taxes, not measured on the ground, so a tree line near Hanford often sits a few yards off the line on screen. In and around Lemoore, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Avenal, CA: the basics

On ground around Lemoore, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Lots just outside the town limits toward Lemoore usually answers to county rules, not municipal ones.
