Getting to the right map
Go first to the Washington Current Parcels layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer; it maps each tax parcel in the county, Northport included. Out toward Chewelah, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. For property near Northport, write down the parcel ID while you have it open; each records desk in the county uses it to find the file.
City limits and county records
Colville sits in Stevens County, Washington, so its parcels are on the county's map. Colville is also the county seat, handy when you need recorded documents. For a parcel near Marcus, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Lots just outside the town limits toward Northport usually follows county rules rather than the town's.
What the owner name means
If a company owns land near Springdale, the state registry names who receives mail for it. An estate listed as owner near Marcus often points to an open probate, so the personal representative is the contact.
Which office to call
