Checking easements on a house in Lompoc? What you want is the Lompoc plat map, as it records the lot layout that deeds refer to. What this Lompoc guide covers: where to request a copy, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and what to look for on the sheet.
Getting started with the Lompoc plat map
For a subdivision near Buellton, the deed usually cites the plat; use it to request a copy.
Where the parcel data lives
Property in and around Goleta can be looked up on the ORMAP tax lot viewer, a viewer that needs no account. For acreage around Santa Maria, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. On ground around Buellton, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and often a sale date.
Where Lompoc fits in
Lompoc lies within Santa Barbara County, California, so its parcels are on the county's map. Closer to Buellton, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Land beyond the city limits out by Carpinteria usually follows county rules, not municipal ones.
Next door to Santa Barbara County
Santa Barbara County touches Kern County, San Luis Obispo County, and Ventura County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Ground near Goleta that runs to the line may be split across two assessors' files, so look at the adjacent map as well. For property near Carpinteria, our state page links each neighboring county map across California.
Where the recorded documents are
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements for land near Carpinteria are filed with the County Recorder. Inherited tracts near Guadalupe can go back through a long string of deeds, and a title company earns its fee before a purchase.
Offices that can help
For assessment questions about property around Solvang are handled by the County Assessor, the office behind the parcel record. Questions about what you can build around Buellton go to planning, building or health offices, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
When a plat changes
Lots near Solvang can be combined or reconfigured by a replat, so check for later filings; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
Taking the map into the field
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Santa Maria, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Santa Maria is a good backup.
What the map can't tell you
The acreage figure is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor can set the real lines for a parcel near Carpinteria. With a lot near Goleta, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
How a plat differs from the tax map
The tax map on the ORMAP tax lot viewer is a summary, while the recorded plat is the legal document.
What a plat shows
In and around Goleta, the sheet usually includes lot and block numbers, dimensions and bearings, street rights-of-way and easements.
How land is described here
California follows the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Solvang cite section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though real sections near Solvang vary in size. Write down the legal description for the tract near Solvang for any title or survey request.
Santa Barbara County in a few facts
Santa Barbara holds the county offices, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find Buellton, Santa Maria, Solvang, and Carpinteria, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Around 441,257 people live in Santa Barbara County (Census estimate, 2023) across some 2,734 square miles. Places such as Channel Islands National Park are easy to spot when you zoom out from Solvang.
Land outside a subdivision
Rural land near Buellton that was never subdivided is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; look for a recorded survey for land near Guadalupe.
Requesting the plat
For property near Santa Maria, many recorder offices offer an online index, while others require a visit or a request; copy fees are usually small.

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.
