How to run a Cumberland County property owner search
Go to the PASDA Pennsylvania Tax Parcels viewer and enter an owner's surname for land near New Cumberland, or simply click the ground you're curious about near New Kingstown. Searches on the county viewer respond better to short entries, so try 'Smith' before 'Smith John A' near Camp Hill. Once the Cumberland County record opens, you'll see the titleholder of record, a mailing address, the parcel number and assessed acreage. Save those Cumberland County details in a note.
Search Cumberland County parcels by owner, address or ID

Making sense of a Cumberland County parcel card
Names on parcels near Camp Hill aren't always a person: land near New Cumberland may be held by a trust, an LLC, a partnership or an estate. Compare the mailing address with the location: a bank or law office address near New Kingstown hints at a trust or an estate, worth noting well before you write. Owner names on the county map reflect the assessor's last update, so a recent sale near New Cumberland may not appear yet.
Cumberland County land records
