Running a Bertie County land owner map step by step
Open the Bertie County ArcGIS parcel map to start; search by address, owner name or parcel ID.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Your first stop is the Bertie County ArcGIS parcel map; it covers every assessed parcel in the county, Askewville included. When a rural tract has no street number, pan along US Route 17 until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want, which applies near Askewville as much as anywhere. If the land is near Chowan Swamp Game Land, write down the parcel ID from that panel; each records desk in the county uses it to find the file.
Context from nearby lots
Look at adjoining lots near Colerain to see who owns the neighboring land; that's handy for easements and access.
Trusts, estates and LLCs
With a lot near Grabtown, the record lists the owner of record, which may be a person, a trust, a company or an estate. An estate listed as owner near Kelford usually means title hasn't passed yet after a death, and the executor handles questions.
Recorded documents worth pulling
Before you sign anything, request the recorded deed from the Register of Deeds; the viewer just points to it, and that holds around Lewiston Woodville too. Inherited tracts near Bachelor Bay Game Land may trace back through a long string of deeds, so a title company is worth hiring if money is changing hands.
