Getting started with the Lander County property owner search
Use the County Parcels in Nevada layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer for a Lander County property owner search; addresses, names and parcel numbers all work.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Property in and around Austin are published on the County Parcels in Nevada layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer, free to use and open without a login.

Out toward Battle Mountain, the record panel typically gives the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and sometimes recent sales.
Sections, lots and bearings
Nevada is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Reese River cite section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though sections near Austin can be irregular. Write down the legal description for the tract near Kingston when you talk to a surveyor.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Lander County touches Churchill County, Elko County, Eureka County, Humboldt County, and Nye County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Ground near Kingston that runs to the line can show up in two county records, so check the adjacent map before you assume the acreage. For property near Kingston, the Platbookmapper state page links every neighboring county map across Nevada.
Trusts, estates and LLCs
For land near Reese River, the owner field shows who the tax bill names, and that isn't always a person. "Estate of" on a record near Pittsburg usually means title hasn't passed yet after a death, so the personal representative is the contact.
Neighbors and nearby parcels
Click the parcels around the one near Austin to see who owns the neighboring land; it helps with access and boundary questions.
Before you lean on the lines
If the land is near Austin, listed acreage is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real corners on the ground. Owner names and values update on a schedule, so a fresh transfer around Toiyabe National Forest might lag behind.
On site with the map
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Battle Mountain, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A saved image of the lot near Battle Mountain and its lines is a good backup.
Offices that can help
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Reese River go to the County Assessor, which maintains the tax roll. Questions about what you can build around Austin go to planning, building or health offices, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
