The viewer Allegheny County publishes
Your first stop is the Allegheny County ArcGIS parcel map; it covers each assessed parcel in the county, Carnegie included. For a parcel near Castle Shannon, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. For acreage around Crafton, the record panel usually lists the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and in many cases the last transfer.
Dormont, PA: the basics
Dormont is part of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, and the county assessor maps its lots. Local government in this town handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, but the county runs assessment and recording, especially near Pittsburgh. Land beyond the town limits toward Mount Oliver usually answers to county rules, not municipal ones.
What the map can't tell you
The acreage figure is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real lines on land around Green Tree. For a parcel near Green Tree, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Sections, lots and bearings
Rural deeds near Castle Shannon commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, a series of courses and distances from a starting point. Platted lots around Carnegie usually use lot and block from a recorded plat instead, making them easier to find. Keep the legal description for land near Heidelberg when you talk to a surveyor.
Three ways to find a parcel
For a house in Dormont, search the street address; for owner searches, try last name first. If the land is near Mount Oliver, searching by parcel number never misses, and you'll find it on tax statements.
Aerials, labels and overlays
