Field tips
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Chapman, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A saved image of the lot near Walnutport and its lines is a good backup.
Reading the legal description
Older tracts around Chapman are often described by metes and bounds, which trace the boundary call by call. Subdivision lots in North Catasauqua usually use lot and block from a recorded plat instead, making them easier to find. Keep the legal description for land near Walnutport when you talk to a surveyor.
Troubleshooting the viewer
When the map won't open around Walnutport, try a desktop browser or clear the cache; links occasionally change, and our directory page keeps the current one.
Who handles what

Limits of the parcel data
The acreage figure is an estimate; only a licensed surveyor establishes the real lines for a parcel near Nazareth. For acreage around Walnutport, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.

Local government in Northampton handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records.
