Getting started with the Corte Madera property search
When land near Belvedere has no street number, pan to it and select the outline.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Go first to the Marin County parcel viewer; it includes every assessed parcel from Mill Valley to Ross. For property near Larkspur, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. Closer to Larkspur, the parcel card usually lists the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and sometimes recent sales.
Neighbors and nearby parcels
Click the parcels around the one near Mill Valley for context on nearby owners and uses; it helps with access and boundary questions.
Where the recorded documents are
Before you sign anything, get the recorded deed from the County Recorder; the parcel map near Tiburon only summarizes it. On ground around Tiburon, have ready the instrument number listed on the parcel record so staff can find the deed fast.
Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near San Rafael, so load it before you lose signal. A saved image of the lot near Ross and its lines keeps working without signal.
Corte Madera, CA: the basics
Corte Madera lies within Marin County, California, and the county assessor maps its lots. Out toward Ross, city or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Lots just outside the city limits out by Belvedere often falls under county rules instead.
What the map can't tell you
Parcel lines are drawn for taxes, not surveyed, so the edge of a yard near Ross may sit several feet off the line on screen. For a parcel near Ross, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
What the owner name means
With a lot near Larkspur, 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 San Rafael usually means title hasn't passed yet after a death, and the executor handles questions.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Marin County borders Contra Costa County, San Francisco County, Solano County, and Sonoma County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Mill Valley may be split in two county records, so check the neighboring map too. If you're looking near Larkspur, the Platbookmapper state page links every neighboring county map across California.

Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though real sections near Belvedere vary in size. Write down the legal description for the tract near Belvedere before you request a deed or survey.
