Getting started with the Richmond Heights property search
If a tract near Ladue isn't addressed, pan to it and select the outline.
The viewer St. Louis County publishes
Go first to the St. Louis County ArcGIS parcel map; it covers every assessed parcel in the county, Maplewood included. For land near Rock Hill, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. Closer to Shrewsbury, copy the parcel ID from that panel; each records desk in the county asks for it first.
Which office to call
For assessment questions about property around Brentwood are handled by the County Assessor, since that office keeps the assessment data. Building or septic questions for a lot near Rock Hill need the planning or permitting office, town or county, depending on location.
Field tips
Most viewers work in a phone browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Shrewsbury, though signal can drop in rural spots. A printout of the tract near Rock Hill keeps working without signal.
City limits and county records
Richmond Heights is part of St. Louis County, Missouri, and the county assessor maps its lots. Around Maplewood, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Land beyond the town limits near Rock Hill often answers to county rules instead.
Who the record really names
Out toward Rock Hill, the record lists the owner of record, sometimes a trust or LLC. "Estate of" on a record near Shrewsbury often points to an open probate, and the executor handles questions.
Legal descriptions in Missouri
Missouri is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Brentwood reference sections and townships. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though sections near Maplewood can be irregular. Write down the legal description for the tract near Rock Hill for any title or survey request.
Places you'll see on the map

If you're looking near Maplewood, about 987,059 people call St. Louis County home (Census estimate, 2023) spread over about 508 square miles. If you're looking near Ladue, st. Louis County dates to 1812, which matters when you trace an old farm's title. Landmarks such as Spanish Lake Park and Babler State Park make handy reference points on the map near Brentwood.
Values and taxes

When you need more than the map
Use the book and page or instrument number from the record near Brentwood to find the deed quickly; hire a title company before money changes hands.
Limits of the parcel data
Acreage on the record is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real boundary on land around Clayton. In and around Rock Hill, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
Reaching an owner
A short letter to the mailing address on the record is the usual way to reach an owner for property around Shrewsbury.
Recorded documents worth pulling
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements covering ground around Shrewsbury sit with the Recorder of Deeds. Around Ladue, have ready the document number listed on the parcel record so staff can find the deed fast.
Neighbors and nearby parcels
Look at adjoining lots near Ladue for context on nearby owners and uses; it helps with access and boundary questions.
