A Clinton property search: start here
Use the Clinton County Beacon site for a Clinton property search; try the address first, then the owner's name.
Pulling up a parcel
Your first stop is the Clinton County Beacon site; it includes each tax parcel around Low Moor and Camanche. If you only know roughly where the land is, pan along US Route 30 until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want. For a parcel near Goose Lake, the parcel card typically gives the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and in many cases the last transfer.
Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Camanche, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Camanche is a good backup.
Which office to call
Deeds, mortgages and recorded plats for land near Goose Lake come from the County Recorder, sometimes only in person. Building or septic questions for a lot near Goose Lake are for the local planning and health departments, town or county, depending on location.
Backing up the map with records
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements covering ground around Camanche are filed with the County Recorder. If the land is near Andover, have ready the instrument number shown in the record panel so staff can find the deed fast.
Where Clinton fits in
Clinton sits in Clinton County, Iowa, and the county assessor maps its lots. As the county seat, Clinton hosts the courthouse, which puts the County Recorder close by.

Lots just outside the city limits out by Goose Lake usually falls under county rules instead.
