North Dakota County GIS Websites: Parcel Viewers by County

Which parcel map software each North Dakota county uses (53 of 53 verified), how to search the common viewers, and a link to every official map.

Looking for North Dakota county GIS websites? North Dakota has 53 counties, and their official parcel maps do not all run on the same software. Knowing which viewer a county uses tells you what the search box expects and where the parcel report is.

If you look up land in more than one North Dakota county, you will notice the parcel maps don't match. That is because each office chooses its own software. Below, all 53 North Dakota entries in our directory are listed with the viewer each one uses, plus tips for the most common types.

North Dakota at a glance

• Entries in the directory: 53
• With a verified public parcel viewer: 53
• ArcGIS Experience Builder: 29
• county web map: 10
• ArcGIS Web AppBuilder: 6
• Beacon (Schneider Geospatial): 4
• ArcGIS Instant Apps: 2
• gWorks: 1
• InteractiveGIS: 1

11 of these entries point to a statewide viewer rather than a county-run site (North Dakota Parcel Viewer (NDGISHub)). A statewide map is handy for crossing county lines, but the local office is still where deeds and tax records are kept.

The busiest offices are worth knowing first, since most searches land there.

Every North Dakota entry and its viewer

Before you rely on what you find

Treat these maps as a starting point. Parcel outlines are tax-map drawings and can be off from the true line; the recorded deed and a licensed survey are what count. To check flood zones, soils or wetlands for a spot you found, open it on the Platbookmapper Land Map, which pulls FEMA, USDA and U.S. Fish & Wildlife layers.
