A Dunmore property search: start here
Open the Lackawanna County GISViewer Parcels to start; search by address, owner name or parcel ID.
The viewer Lackawanna County publishes
Begin with the Lackawanna County GISViewer Parcels; it includes every tax parcel around Blakely and Jessup. If you only know roughly where the land is, follow Interstate 84 on the aerial and select the outline. For a tract near Scranton, the record panel typically gives the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
Dunmore and the county around it
Dunmore lies within Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, which means parcel data comes from the county. Local government in Dunmore handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Lots just outside the city limits out by Blakely often follows county rules, not municipal ones.
Reading the owner field
For an LLC on a parcel near Dickson City, the state business entity search usually lists a registered agent. An estate listed as owner near Throop usually means title hasn't passed yet after a death, so the personal representative is the contact.
Looking around the parcel
Look at adjoining lots near Throop for context on nearby owners and uses; that's handy for easements and access.
Tax data in the record
The record for a parcel near Blakely often lists value and tax amounts; the county assessment office sets values and the treasurer or collector bills taxes.
Proof of ownership
Use the book and page or instrument number from the record near Blakely so the lookup is fast; hire a title company before money changes hands.
Sections, lots and bearings
Older tracts around Jessup are often described by metes and bounds, listing bearings, distances and landmarks. Subdivision lots in Scranton usually use lot and block from a recorded plat instead, making them easier to find. Keep the legal description for land near Blakely before you request a deed or survey.
A word on accuracy
Tax maps are drawn for assessment, not measured on the ground, so a fence near Jessup can sit several feet off the line on screen. If the land is near Jessup, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Land on the county line
Lackawanna County borders Luzerne County, Monroe County, Susquehanna County, Wayne County, and Wyoming County, all with their own assessor records. A tract near the line by Olyphant may show up in two county records, so look at the neighboring map before you assume the acreage. Closer to Scranton, our state page links every bordering county map across Pennsylvania.
Backing up the map with records
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements covering ground around Olyphant are kept by the Recorder of Deeds. For acreage around Throop, have ready the document number shown in the record panel to skip a name search.
Taking the map into the field
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Throop, so load it before you lose signal. A printout of the tract near Olyphant keeps working without signal.
Which office to call
For assessment questions about property around Jessup go to the county assessment office, the office behind the parcel record. Building or septic questions for a lot near Throop need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
