Opening the Lansing GIS map
In most places the county maintains the parcel layer, so for Lansing the go-to is the ORKA parcel viewer.
Getting to the right map
Begin with the ORKA parcel viewer; it maps every assessed parcel around Linwood and Easton. In and around Linwood, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. Closer to Easton, the record panel typically gives the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and often a sale date.
On site with the map
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Linwood, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Tonganoxie keeps working without signal.
Lansing, KS: the basics
Lansing sits in Leavenworth County, Kansas, so its parcels are on the county's map. If the land is near Bonner Springs, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the city limits toward Linwood often falls under county rules instead.
Three ways to find a parcel
Vacant ground near Linwood may lack an address, which means panning to it and clicking. With a lot near Linwood, searching by parcel number never misses, and you'll find it on tax statements.
When the map won't load
