When land near Loreauville catches your eye, a look at the New Iberia GIS map gives you the outline, the owner of record and a parcel ID. This New Iberia guide covers: which viewer to open, how to search it, and the limits worth knowing.
Getting started with the New Iberia GIS map
Out toward Jeanerette, some cities also run their own GIS portal for utilities or zoning; that can add detail on top of the county map.
Where the parcel data lives
Begin with the Iberia Parish parcel viewer; it includes every tax parcel in the parish, Loreauville included. In and around Loreauville, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. Copy the parcel ID while you have it open; every records desk in the parish will want it.
Sections, lots and bearings
Louisiana uses the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Delcambre reference sections and townships. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though real sections near Jeanerette vary in size. Write down the legal description for the tract near Delcambre when you talk to a surveyor.
New Iberia, LA: the basics
New Iberia lies within Iberia Parish, Louisiana, and the county assessor maps its lots. As the county seat, New Iberia hosts the courthouse, so deeds and plats are filed in town. Closer to Loreauville, 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 near Loreauville often falls under county rules, not municipal ones.
A word on accuracy
Tax maps are drawn for assessment, not surveyed, so a fence near Jeanerette may sit some distance off the line on screen. For property near Jeanerette, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Three ways to find a parcel
For a house in New Iberia, search the street address; for owner searches, try last name first. With a lot near Delcambre, searching by parcel number never misses, and it's printed on tax bills.
