Running a Lincoln property search step by step
Use the Burleigh County parcel viewer for a Lincoln property search; try the address first, then the owner's name.
Pulling up a parcel
Your first stop is the Burleigh County parcel viewer; it covers each tax parcel in the county, Regan included. On ground around Bismarck, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. In and around Bismarck, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
Lincoln and the county around it
Lincoln is part of Burleigh County, North Dakota, and the county assessor maps its lots. Local government in Lincoln handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Land beyond the town limits near Wing usually answers to county rules rather than the town's.
Trusts, estates and LLCs
In and around Wing, the record lists the owner of record, sometimes a trust or LLC. "Estate of" on a record near Wing usually means title hasn't passed yet after a death, and the executor handles questions.
Before you lean on the lines
Parcel lines are drawn for taxes, not measured on the ground, so a tree line near Bismarck may sit several feet off the line on screen. Records update in batches, so a recent sale near Regan can take weeks to appear.
Legal descriptions in North Dakota
