Running a Burley property search step by step
Open the Cassia County ArcGIS parcel map to start; try the address first, then the owner's name.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Property in and around Albion can be looked up on the Cassia County ArcGIS parcel map, which opens without registering. Out toward Malta, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. Closer to Malta, a pop-up or side panel usually lists the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and often a sale date.
Values and taxes
Many records show assessed value and taxes for land near Malta; questions about value go to the County Assessor.
Neighboring parcel maps
Cassia County meets Blaine County, Jerome County, Minidoka County, Oneida County, and Power County, all with their own assessor records. Ground near Oakley that runs to the line may be split in two county records, so open the adjacent map as well. Our state page lists every neighboring county map across Idaho.
Getting answers from the right desk
Deeds, mortgages and recorded plats for land near Malta are with the County Recorder (the county clerk serves as recorder), often with an online index. Building or septic questions for a lot near Declo go to planning, building or health offices, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
City limits and county records
Burley sits in Cassia County, Idaho, and the county assessor maps its lots. As the county seat, Burley hosts the courthouse, handy when you need recorded documents. Near Albion, the municipality handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Land beyond the city limits toward Oakley often follows county rules instead.
Sections, lots and bearings
Idaho is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Malta cite section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though real sections near Albion vary in size. Keep the legal description for land near Declo for any title or survey request.
Trusts, estates and LLCs
Closer to Oakley, the owner field shows who the tax bill names, which may be a person, a trust, a company or an estate. "Estate of" on a record near Malta usually means title hasn't passed yet after a death, so the personal representative is the contact.
Confirming with the deed
Bring the document number shown for the parcel near Malta to find the deed quickly; a title search is wise before any purchase.
Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Albion, though signal can drop in rural spots. A saved image of the lot near Malta and its lines helps when you meet an owner or agent.
A quick look at the area
Burley serves as the county seat, home to the main records offices. Other places on the map include Declo, Albion, Malta, and Oakley, each with its own cluster of lots. Around 25,696 people live in Cassia County (Census estimate, 2023) spread over about 2,566 square miles. Cassia County was formed in 1879, which matters when you trace an old farm's title. Places such as Snake River and Minidoka National Wildlife Refuge are easy to spot when you zoom out from Declo.
Contacting an owner politely
Include the parcel ID, why you're asking and how to reach you; owners of rural land near Declo may live far away.
Recorded documents worth pulling
Before you sign anything, pull the recorded deed from the County Recorder (the county clerk serves as recorder); the parcel map near Albion only summarizes it. For acreage around Oakley, have ready the document number shown in the record panel to skip a name search.
Neighbors and nearby parcels
Look at adjoining lots near Declo to see who owns the neighboring land; it helps with access and boundary questions.
Before you lean on the lines
Listed acreage is an assessed number; only a licensed surveyor can set the real corners on land around Declo. In and around Malta, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
