An Isle of Wight County property owner search: start here
The Isle of Wight County ArcGIS parcel map is the free tool for this; search by address, owner name or parcel ID.
Pulling up a parcel
Your first stop is the Isle of Wight County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps each tax parcel in the county, Rushmere included. When a rural tract has no street number, pan along US Route 460 and select the outline, and that holds around Windsor too. For a parcel near Smithfield, write down the parcel ID from that panel; every clerk in the county will want it.
Taking the map into the field
Most viewers work in a phone browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Blackwater River, though signal can drop in rural spots. A screenshot of the parcel near Carrollton with its ID is a good backup.
Values and taxes
Many records show assessed value and taxes for land near Carrsville; questions about value go to the Commissioner of the Revenue or real estate assessment office.
Reading the owner field
Out toward Windsor, the owner field shows who the tax bill names, which may be a person, a trust, a company or an estate. "Estate of" on a record near Smithfield usually means title hasn't passed yet after a death, so the personal representative is the contact.
Legal descriptions in Virginia
Tracts outside towns near Camptown commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, which trace the boundary call by call. Subdivision lots in Camptown are typically described by lot and block, which is simpler to follow. Write down the legal description for the tract near Carrollton when you talk to a surveyor.
