Running a Huntington property search step by step
Open the Cabell County ArcGIS parcel map to start; try the address first, then the owner's name.
Where the parcel data lives
Begin with the Cabell County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps each tax parcel from Barboursville to Milton. When a rural tract has no street number, zoom in from Barboursville and click the parcel itself. Near Milton, the parcel card usually lists the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and sometimes recent sales.
What the map can't tell you
Acreage on the record is an estimate; just a licensed surveyor sets the real boundary on land around Milton. Owner names and values update on a schedule, so a recent sale near Milton can take weeks to appear.
Looking around the parcel
Look at adjoining lots near Barboursville for context on nearby owners and uses; it helps with access and boundary questions.

Land beyond the city limits near Barboursville often falls under county rules, not municipal ones.

When you need more than the map
Use the book and page or instrument number from the record near Milton so the lookup is fast; a title search is wise before any purchase.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements for land near Milton sit with the County Clerk. Older tracts near Barboursville may go back through a long string of deeds, so a title company is worth hiring if money is changing hands.
