The official viewer behind the Davis GIS map

Pulling up a parcel
Begin with the Yolo County ArcGIS parcel map; it covers every assessed parcel from Winters to West Sacramento. If you only know roughly where the land is, zoom in from Winters until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want.

Davis, CA: the basics
Davis lies within Yolo County, California, which means parcel data comes from the county. For property near West Sacramento, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, while the county keeps the tax map. Acreage past the town limits toward West Sacramento usually follows county rules, not municipal ones.
How land is described here
California follows the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near West Sacramento cite section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though corrections make some sections near Woodland odd-sized. Write down the legal description for the tract near Winters when you talk to a surveyor.
Troubleshooting the viewer
If the viewer stalls on a phone near Winters, try a desktop browser or clear the cache; links occasionally change, and our directory page keeps the current one.
Searching the map

Layers worth turning on
With a lot near Woodland, look in the layer list for municipal boundaries, floodplain and sometimes zoning; not every viewer has them all.
Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Winters, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A saved image of the lot near West Sacramento and its lines is a good backup.
Land on the county line

What the map can't tell you
