Getting started with the Calexico property search
Open the Imperial County ArcGIS parcel map to start; search by address, owner name or parcel ID.
The free map to start with
Your first stop is the Imperial County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps every tax parcel around Holtville and El Centro. Without an address in hand, follow Interstate 8 on the aerial and click the parcel itself. Out toward Imperial, write down the parcel ID from that panel; each records desk in the county asks for it first.
What the map can't tell you
Acreage on the record is an estimate; only a licensed surveyor establishes the real corners on land around Imperial. For a parcel near El Centro, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Where Calexico fits in
Calexico lies within Imperial County, California, and the county assessor maps its lots. Around Imperial, the municipality handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Land beyond the city limits out by Holtville often falls under county rules instead.

Sections, lots and bearings
California uses the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Westmorland reference sections and townships.

Keep the legal description for land near Holtville when you talk to a surveyor.
Where the recorded documents are
Before you sign anything, pull the recorded deed through the County Recorder; the parcel map near El Centro only summarizes it. Long-held tracts around Imperial can trace back through a long string of deeds, and a title company is worth hiring on a real sale.
Places you'll see on the map
El Centro serves as the county seat, home to the main records offices. You'll also find Holtville, Imperial, and Brawley, each with its own cluster of lots.

Reading the owner field
For a home near Imperial, 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 Calipatria often points to an open probate, so the personal representative is the contact.
Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Holtville, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Brawley with its ID keeps working without signal.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Imperial County meets La Paz County, AZ, Yuma County, AZ, Riverside County, and San Diego County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Ground near Westmorland that runs to the line can show up in two county records, so look at the adjacent map before you assume the acreage.
