Buying a lot in a subdivision near Del Rey Oaks? What you want is the Greenfield plat map, as it records the lot layout that deeds refer to. Covered here for Greenfield: where to request a copy, plat versus tax map, and what to look for on the sheet.
Who keeps the Greenfield plat map
For a lot in Greenfield, the deed usually cites the plat; that makes the request quick.
The viewer Monterey County publishes
Lots and tracts near Marina are published on the Monterey County parcel viewer, which opens without registering. When a rural tract has no street number, pan along the nearest road and click the parcel itself, which applies near King City as much as anywhere. In and around Marina, the parcel card usually lists the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
Offices that can help
Recorded documents for a parcel near Marina are with the County Recorder, sometimes only in person. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Marina need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Sections, lots and bearings
California uses the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Marina is described by section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though sections near Marina can be irregular. Write down the legal description for the tract near Gonzales when you talk to a surveyor.
City limits and county records
Greenfield sits in Monterey County, California, which means parcel data comes from the county. For acreage around King City, 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 toward King City usually falls under county rules rather than the town's.
Monterey County in a few facts
Salinas serves as the county seat, where most land records are kept. Other places on the map include Carmel-by-the-Sea, Del Rey Oaks, and Gonzales, each with its own cluster of lots. Roughly 430,723 people live in Monterey County (Census estimate, 2023) on some 3,282 square miles. Places such as Los Padres National Forest help you orient on the aerial around Gonzales.
What the map can't tell you
The acreage figure is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor establishes the real corners on land around Del Rey Oaks. For a parcel near Gonzales, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Neighboring parcel maps
Monterey County touches Fresno County, Kings County, San Benito County, San Luis Obispo County, and Santa Cruz County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Gonzales can show up across two assessors' files, so open the adjacent map too. For a parcel near Gonzales, the Platbookmapper state page lists every bordering county map for California.
Field tips
