For land around Interstate 676, the Philadelphia County property owner search returns who the tax bill goes to. This Philadelphia County guide covers: where to search, what trusts, estates and LLCs mean, and the next step when you need proof.
Getting started with the Philadelphia County property owner search
If a tract near Interstate 676 isn't addressed, pan to it and select the outline.
The viewer Philadelphia County publishes
Lots and tracts near Interstate 95 appear on the Philadelphia County parcel viewer, a viewer that needs no account. For land near US Route 1, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. In and around Interstate 676, save the parcel ID from that panel; every clerk in the county will want it.
Recorded documents worth pulling
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements covering ground around Interstate 95 are kept by the Recorder of Deeds. If the land is near Interstate 95, bring the book and page listed on the parcel record so staff can find the deed fast.
Looking around the parcel
Look at adjoining lots near Interstate 95 to see who owns the neighboring land; it helps with access and boundary questions.
Who the record really names
For an LLC on a parcel near US Route 1, look it up in the state's business registry. "Estate of" on a record near Interstate 76 often points to an open probate, so the personal representative is the contact.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Philadelphia County borders Burlington County, NJ, Camden County, NJ, Gloucester County, NJ, Bucks County, and Delaware County, all with their own assessor records. A tract near the line by US Route 1 may be split in two county records, so check the neighboring map as well.

A word on accuracy
