For a parcel in or near Moscow, the Moscow GIS map shows the outline, the owner of record and a parcel ID. In this Moscow guide: which viewer to open, how to search it, and what to double-check with records.
The official viewer behind the Moscow GIS map
In most places the county maintains the parcel layer, so for Moscow the go-to is the Idaho statewide Parcels layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer.
Getting to the right map
Go first to the Idaho statewide Parcels layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer; it includes every tax parcel around Juliaetta and Onaway. If you only know roughly where the land is, pan along the nearest road and click the parcel itself, whether the land is near Onaway or elsewhere in the county. For a parcel near Genesee, the parcel card usually lists the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and sometimes recent sales.
Where Moscow fits in
Moscow lies within Latah County, Idaho, so its parcels are on the county's map. As the county seat, Moscow hosts the courthouse, handy when you need recorded documents. If the land is near Troy, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, but the county runs assessment and recording. Lots just outside the city limits out by Onaway generally answers to county rules instead.
Latah County in a few facts
Moscow serves as the county seat, where most land records are kept. You'll also find Troy, Genesee, Potlatch, and Onaway, each with its own cluster of lots. Around 41,301 people live in Latah County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across roughly 1,076 square miles. Latah County was formed in 1888, which matters when you trace an old farm's title.
Keeping a record
Print or screenshot the parcel near Potlatch with its ID visible, so you have it when calling an office.
Troubleshooting the viewer
When the map won't open around Onaway, switch browsers or turn off pop-up blockers; links occasionally change, and our directory page keeps the current one.
Offices that can help
Recorded documents for a parcel near Genesee sit in the index kept by the County Recorder (the county clerk serves as recorder), sometimes only in person. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Potlatch go to planning, building or health offices, town or county, depending on location.
Finding the right lot
Vacant ground near Potlatch may lack an address, so pan the aerial and click the lot. For land near Troy, searching by parcel number never misses, and it carries over to every office in the county.
On site with the map
Most viewers work in a phone browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Juliaetta, though signal can drop in rural spots. A saved image of the lot near Onaway and its lines keeps working without signal.
What the map can't tell you
Acreage on the record is an assessed number; only a licensed surveyor establishes the real lines on land around Juliaetta. Owner names and values update on a schedule, so a fresh transfer around Troy may not show yet.
Neighboring parcel maps
Latah County meets Benewah County, Clearwater County, Nez Perce County, Shoshone County, and Whitman County, WA; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. A tract near the line by Potlatch can be split across two assessors' files, so open the neighboring map too. Our state page lists each bordering county map across Idaho.
Legal descriptions in Idaho
Idaho uses the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Potlatch reference sections and townships. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though corrections make some sections near Juliaetta odd-sized. Keep the legal description for land near Troy for any title or survey request.
Layers worth turning on
Toggling imagery near Juliaetta shows roofs, driveways and tree lines next to the parcel edges.
Recorded documents worth pulling
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements for land near Kendrick are kept by the County Recorder (the county clerk serves as recorder). Inherited tracts near Potlatch may sit on several deeds, so a title company earns its fee if money is changing hands.
What the record panel tells you
Recent sales on nearby lots near Kendrick are a useful starting point; an appraiser is the real authority.

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.
