For any lot around Clovis, the Mendota GIS map lays out the outline, the owner of record and a parcel ID. What this Mendota guide covers: where that map lives, how to search it, and what to double-check with records.
Finding a lot on the Mendota GIS map
For property near Fowler, some cities also run their own GIS portal for utilities or zoning; that can add detail on top of the county map.
Pulling up a parcel
Go first to the Fresno County parcel viewer; it maps each tax parcel from San Joaquin to Clovis. Near Firebaugh, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. For acreage around Coalinga, the parcel card usually lists the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
Browser tips
When the map won't open around Firebaugh, switch browsers or turn off pop-up blockers; links occasionally change, and our directory page keeps the current one.
City limits and county records
Mendota sits in Fresno County, California, and the county assessor maps its lots. For acreage around San Joaquin, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, but the county runs assessment and recording. Acreage past the town limits out by Firebaugh often falls under county rules rather than the town's.
Three ways to find a parcel
Addresses are the easiest route inside Mendota; for owner searches, try last name first. If the land is near Coalinga, searching by parcel number never misses, and it's printed on tax bills.
Land on the county line
Fresno County borders Inyo County, Kings County, Madera County, Merced County, and Mono County, all with their own assessor records. Ground near Fowler that runs to the line can be split in two county records, so open the neighboring map as well. For a parcel near San Joaquin, the Platbookmapper state page lists each neighboring county map for California.
Sections, lots and bearings
California is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near San Joaquin cite section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though sections near Firebaugh can be irregular. Write down the legal description for the tract near Coalinga before you request a deed or survey.
Layers worth turning on
Near San Joaquin, look in the layer list for city limits, flood hazard, zoning or soils; availability varies.
Getting your bearings
Fresno holds the county offices, home to the main records offices. Other places on the map include Firebaugh, San Joaquin, Kerman, and Clovis. Around 1,017,162 people live in Fresno County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) spread over roughly 5,958 square miles. Features like San Joaquin River, Kings River, and Giant Sequoia National Monument are easy to spot when you zoom out from Clovis.
Keeping a record
Save a screenshot of the lot near Coalinga and its record panel, which helps later when you ask the assessor or a title company.
Where the recorded documents are
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements covering ground around Kerman sit with the County Recorder. Long-held tracts near Fowler can sit on several deeds, so a title company can sort it out on a real sale.
Using it on a phone
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near San Joaquin, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Firebaugh with its ID helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Limits of the parcel data
Listed acreage is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real corners for a parcel near Kerman. Closer to Fowler, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Owner, value and acreage
If sale dates appear, they help gauge the market near Kerman give a rough idea of values; an appraiser is the real authority.
Getting answers from the right desk
For assessment questions about property around Fowler belong with the County Assessor, since that office keeps the assessment data. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Clovis are for the local planning and health departments, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.

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.
