When a listing near Hanford mentions a lot number, look up the Lemoore plat map it refers to. This Lemoore guide covers: where plats are filed, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and what to look for on the sheet.
Getting started with the Lemoore plat map
For a subdivision near Hanford, look for the plat book reference on the parcel record; use it to request a copy.
The free map to start with
Go first to the Kings County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps every tax parcel in the county, Hanford included. If you only know roughly where the land is, zoom in from Avenal until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want. If the land is near Corcoran, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and in many cases the last transfer.
Getting answers from the right desk
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Avenal go to the County Assessor, which maintains the tax roll. Building or septic questions for a lot near Corcoran are for the local planning and health departments, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Where the recorded documents are
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements for land near Avenal are filed with the County Recorder. Inherited tracts around Hanford may trace back through several deeds, so a title company is worth hiring before a purchase.
Lemoore and the county around it
The city sits in Kings County, California, and the county assessor maps its lots around Corcoran. For land near Avenal, 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. Lots just outside the city limits near Corcoran usually follows county rules, not municipal ones.
Two different maps
Where lines don't match in Lemoore, go with the plat and a surveyor's work.

Kings County in a few facts
Hanford is the county seat, where most land records are kept. You'll also find Corcoran and Avenal, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Roughly 152,682 people live in Kings County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across some 1,391 square miles. Features like Tulare Lake help you orient on the aerial around Hanford.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Kings County meets Fresno County, Kern County, Monterey County, San Luis Obispo County, and Tulare County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. A tract near the line by Avenal may be split across two assessors' files, so open the neighboring map before you assume the acreage. For land near Avenal, our state page lists each neighboring county map for California.
Taking the map into the field
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Avenal, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Avenal is a good backup.
Replats and vacations
An amended plat may change lots around Corcoran, so check for later filings; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
Reading the legal description
California is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Hanford 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 Corcoran can be irregular. Keep the legal description for land near Avenal before you request a deed or survey.
Online indexes and office visits
For land near Corcoran, some counties put plat images online, while others require a visit or a request; small fees are common.
Land outside a subdivision
Acreage around Corcoran outside a subdivision is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.
A word on accuracy
Tax maps are drawn for assessment, not surveyed, so a tree line near Hanford can sit some distance off the line on screen. For property near Hanford, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.

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.
