Getting started with the Moberly property search
Use the Randolph County BreezeMaps viewer for a Moberly property search; search by address, owner name or parcel ID.
The viewer Randolph County publishes
Property in and around Huntsville appear on the Randolph County BreezeMaps viewer, free to use and open without a login. Out toward Clark, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match.

Where Moberly fits in
Moberly sits in Randolph County, Missouri, and the county assessor maps its lots. For land near Clark, the municipality 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 town limits toward Clark usually falls under county rules rather than the town's.
On site with the map
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Renick, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A saved image of the lot near Renick and its lines is a good backup.

Backing up the map with records
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements covering ground around Clark are kept by the Recorder of Deeds. For land near Higbee, have ready the document number shown in the record panel to skip a name search.
Limits of the parcel data

Getting answers from the right desk

Tax data in the record

Reading the owner field
