For a parcel near Chester Hill, the Clearfield County property owner search returns owner, value and acreage. In this Clearfield County guide: which viewer to use, how to read owner names, and the next step when you need proof.
A Clearfield County property owner search: start here
The Clearfield County parcel viewer is the free tool for this; search by address, owner name or parcel ID.
Pulling up a parcel
Parcels around Burnside are published on the Clearfield County parcel viewer, which opens without registering. Without an address in hand, pan along US Route 119 and click the parcel itself, and that holds around Chester Hill too. For a parcel near Bigler, save the parcel ID before closing the panel; every clerk in the county uses it to find the file.
Places you'll see on the map
Clearfield holds the county offices, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find DuBois, Brisbin, Burnside, and Chester Hill, each with its own cluster of lots. About 77,090 people call Clearfield County home (Census estimate, 2023) on some 1,145 square miles. The county was formed in 1822, and some chains of title near West Branch Susquehanna River are long. Landmarks such as West Branch Susquehanna River and Parker Dam State Park help you orient on the aerial.
Reading the owner field
For a home near Brisbin, 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 Curwensville usually means title hasn't passed yet after a death, so the personal representative is the contact.
Taxes on the record
The record for a parcel near Grassflat often lists value and tax amounts; questions about value go to the county assessment office.
Sections, lots and bearings
Rural deeds near Coalport are often described by metes and bounds, a series of courses and distances from a starting point. Platted lots around Hawk Run usually use lot and block from a recorded plat instead, making them easier to find. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Parker Dam State Park before you request a deed or survey.
When you need more than the map
On ground around DuBois, the parcel record is not proof of title; the recorded deed at the Recorder of Deeds is.
Recorded documents worth pulling
If you're looking near DuBois, the map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements for parcels in the county are filed with the Recorder of Deeds. For a home near Brisbin, have ready the book and page from the tax record to skip a name search.
A word on accuracy
For property near Burnside, listed acreage is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real corners on the ground. Closer to Allport, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Who handles what
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Coalport looks off go to the county assessment office, which maintains the tax roll. Building or septic questions for a lot near Hawk Run are for the local planning and health departments, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Taking the map into the field
Most viewers work in a phone browser, which helps when you're standing on land near DuBois, though signal can drop in rural spots. A saved image of the lot near Grassflat and its lines keeps working without signal.
Neighbors and nearby parcels
Look at adjoining lots near Allport to see who owns the neighboring land; that's handy for easements and access.
Land on the county line
Clearfield County borders Blair County, Cambria County, Cameron County, Centre County, and Clinton County, all with their own assessor records. Ground near West Branch Susquehanna River that runs to the line may be split across two assessors' files, so look at the adjacent map too. For land near Grassflat, the Platbookmapper state page links each neighboring county map for Pennsylvania.
Reaching an owner
A polite note sent to the tax-bill address works better than knocking unannounced about a tract near Parker Dam State Park.
