Running a Mounds View property search step by step
Open the Ramsey County parcel viewer to start; addresses, names and parcel numbers all work.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Your first stop is the Ramsey County parcel viewer; it maps every assessed parcel in the county, New Brighton included. Closer to North Oaks, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For a home near North Oaks, the parcel card usually lists the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and sometimes recent sales.
City limits and county records
Mounds View is part of Ramsey County, Minnesota, and the county assessor maps its lots. Near North Oaks, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Lots just outside the town limits out by Arden Hills often answers to county rules rather than the town's.
Where the recorded documents are
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements for land near Arden Hills sit with the County Recorder. Long-held tracts near Spring Lake Park may sit on many deeds, so a title company is worth hiring on a real sale.

What the map can't tell you

When you need more than the map
Bring the document number shown for the parcel near Spring Lake Park so the lookup is fast; a title search is wise before any purchase.
Getting answers from the right desk
