Opening the official parcel viewer
Go first to the Northampton County parcel viewer; it includes every tax parcel around Easton and North Catasauqua. For a tract near Easton, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. For acreage around Glendon, write down the parcel ID while you have it open; each office in the county uses it to find the file.
A word on accuracy
Tax maps are drawn for assessment, not surveyed, so a fence near Glendon often sits some distance off the line on screen. If the land is near Glendon, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Where Hellertown fits in
Hellertown lies within Northampton County, Pennsylvania, so its parcels are on the county's map. In and around Wilson, 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. Acreage past the town limits near Freemansburg generally falls under county rules instead.
Finding the right lot
Vacant ground near West Easton may lack an address, so pan the aerial and click the lot. For property near Freemansburg, a parcel ID is the most reliable search, and it's printed on tax bills.
Beyond the parcel lines
For property near Glendon, look in the layer list for city limits, flood hazard, zoning or soils; availability varies.
Printing and saving
Save a screenshot of the lot near North Catasauqua and its record panel, which helps later when you ask the assessor or a title company.
Places you'll see on the map
Easton holds the county offices, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find Freemansburg, Glendon, West Easton, and Wilson, each with its own cluster of lots. Roughly 319,091 people call Northampton County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) spread over about 370 square miles. Northampton County was formed in 1752, and some chains of title near Freemansburg are long. Features like Lehigh River, Delaware River, and Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area make handy reference points on the map near Wilson.
Taking the map into the field

Which office to call
If the acreage or value on a parcel near West Easton looks off are handled by the county assessment office, which maintains the tax roll. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Freemansburg go to planning, building or health offices, town or county, depending on location.
Troubleshooting the viewer
When the map won't open around Freemansburg, try a desktop browser or clear the cache; links occasionally change, and our directory page keeps the current one.
Backing up the map with records
For a home near Freemansburg, the map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements for parcels in the county sit with the Recorder of Deeds. Long-held tracts around Easton may go back through many deeds, so a title company is worth hiring on a real sale.
Reading a parcel record
Recent sales on nearby lots near Freemansburg are a useful starting point; they're not an appraisal.
How land is described here
Older tracts around Freemansburg commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, listing bearings, distances and landmarks. Platted lots around Wilson refer to a recorded plat, making them easier to find. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Easton for any title or survey request.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Closer to North Catasauqua, Northampton County touches Warren County, NJ, Bucks County, Carbon County, Lehigh County, and Monroe County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Freemansburg may be split in two county records, so open the neighboring map before you assume the acreage. With a lot near Wilson, our state page lists each neighboring county map across Pennsylvania.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
