For land around Somerset, a quick Pulaski County property owner search lists who the tax bill goes to. This county guide covers: which viewer to use, what trusts, estates and LLCs mean, and how to confirm with the deed, at least around Alcalde.
Running a Pulaski County property owner search step by step
Use the Pulaski County Beacon site for a county property owner search; try the address first, then the owner's name, especially near Somerset.
Getting to the right map
The public parcel map for this area is the Pulaski County Beacon site, and no login is needed to use it. If you only know roughly where the land is, follow Interstate 465 on the aerial and click the parcel itself. For a tract near Ferguson, copy the parcel ID from that panel; each records desk in the county will want it.
Limits of the parcel data
The acreage figure is an estimate; only a licensed surveyor establishes the real lines on land around Alcalde. Closer to Somerset, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
Which office to call
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Science Hill looks off are handled by the Property Valuation Administrator (PVA), which maintains the tax roll. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Eubank are for the local planning and health departments, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Getting your bearings
Somerset serves as the county seat, home to the main records offices. Smaller places on the map include Burnside, Eubank, Ferguson, and Science Hill, where town lots give way to larger tracts. About 66,191 people live in Pulaski County (Census estimate, 2023) across roughly 658 square miles. The county was organized in 1798, and some chains of title near Science Hill are long.
Legal descriptions in Kentucky
Older tracts around Antioch are often described by metes and bounds, a series of courses and distances from a starting point. Town lots near Ferguson refer to a recorded plat, making them easier to find. Keep the legal description for land near Barnesburg for any title or survey request.
Trusts, estates and LLCs
For a parcel near Somerset, the record lists the owner of record, which may be a person, a trust, a company or an estate. "Estate of" on a record near Bandy usually means title hasn't passed yet after a death, so the personal representative is the contact.
On site with the map
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Eubank, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Barnesburg helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Next door to Pulaski County
The county meets Casey County, Laurel County, Lincoln County, McCreary County, and Rockcastle County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map for land near Alcalde. Ground near Acorn that runs to the line may be split across two assessors' files, so check the adjacent map too. In and around Burnside, our state page lists every bordering county map for Kentucky.
Confirming with the deed
If the land is near Barnesburg, a viewer entry isn't legal proof; for that, pull the deed from the County Clerk.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
For acreage around Bandy, the map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements for parcels in the county sit with the County Clerk. On ground around Science Hill, have ready the book and page shown in the record panel and the lookup takes minutes.
Values and taxes
Many records show assessed value and taxes for land near Antioch; questions about value go to the Property Valuation Administrator (PVA).
Neighbors and nearby parcels
Look at adjoining lots near Barnesburg to see who owns the neighboring land; it helps with access and boundary questions.
Writing to an owner
A polite note sent to the tax-bill address is the usual way to reach an owner about a tract near Ferguson.
