The viewer Yuba County publishes

If you only know roughly where the land is, pan along the nearest road and click the parcel itself, and that holds around Wheatland too. Out toward Wheatland, the record panel usually lists the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Yuba County touches Butte County, Nevada County, Placer County, Plumas County, and Sierra County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map.

Recorded documents worth pulling

Marysville and the county around it
Marysville lies within Yuba County, California, which means parcel data comes from the county. As the county seat, Marysville hosts the courthouse, which puts the County Recorder close by. In and around Wheatland, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Land beyond the town limits out by Beale Air Force Base generally answers to county rules, not municipal ones.
Getting answers from the right desk
