Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Dupont, so load it before you lose signal. A screenshot of the parcel near Dupont with its ID is a good backup.
Where the recorded documents are
Before you sign anything, request the recorded deed through the Recorder of Deeds; the parcel map near Dupont only summarizes it. If you're looking near Duryea, have ready the document number from the tax record so staff can find the deed fast.
Reading the legal description

Pittston and the county around it
The town is part of Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, and the county assessor maps its lots, at least around Wilkes-Barre. For property near Duryea, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, while the county keeps the tax map. Acreage past the city limits out by Duryea often follows county rules instead.
Before you lean on the lines
Acreage on the record is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary for a parcel near West Pittston. Near Duryea, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Search tips
Acreage around Dupont might not have a street number, so zoom in from Interstate 81 and click the outline. If the land is near Dupont, a parcel ID is the most reliable search, and it's printed on tax bills.
When the map won't load
When the map won't open around Duryea, switch browsers or turn off pop-up blockers; links occasionally change, and our directory page keeps the current one.
Saving what you find
Print or screenshot the parcel near Dupont with its ID visible, which helps later when you ask the assessor or a title company.

Switch to the aerial basemap over this town to compare lines with fences and driveways, especially near Wilkes-Barre.
