How to use the Santa Barbara County property owner search
Start the Santa Barbara County property owner search on the ORMAP tax lot viewer and enter an owner's surname for land near Buellton, or simply click the ground you're curious about near Garey. Owner lookups for land near Buellton respond better to short entries, and spelling variants are worth a try in the county. In the pop-up for a tract near Buellton, you'll track down the details a deed request needs: parcel ID and legal description. Copy them well before you leave the Santa Barbara County map.
The county map you'll pair it with
The county's own public map is the ORMAP tax lot viewer, built on Oregon's statewide ORMAP program, and it opens without an account for parcels in Guadalupe and the rest of the county. Zoom to Santa Barbara County, click a tax lot near Guadalupe, and copy the map and tax lot number for the assessment search. If the official address for the Santa Barbara County, CA map ever changes, our directory page carries the current link for Guadalupe and the rest of the county.
Where Santa Barbara County land records are kept
The parcel layer for Santa Barbara County points back to recorded deeds and plats, kept by the county's recording office (its title varies by state). A deed book and page or instrument number on the county record is the quickest route to order the document for a lot in Guadalupe.
Trusts, LLCs, estates and mailing addresses
Entries in the county owner column are not always a person: a trust or LLC on a tract near Buellton owns the land itself. The mailing address on a Santa Barbara County record tells a story: a management company in the field often means rental or investment ground in Santa Barbara County, worth noting well before you write. Records for land near Lompoc reflect the assessor's last update, which means a deed filed this season may be missing.
Tracts that cross the Santa Barbara County line
Santa Barbara County borders Kern County, San Luis Obispo County, and Ventura County, and each keeps its own parcel map and records. Every map bordering Santa Barbara County is listed on our California directory.

Santa Barbara County owner lookup questions
Is the Santa Barbara County parcel map proof of ownership?
Use the Santa Barbara County map to track down the owner, then order the recorded deed; that document is the proof.
How do I track down out who owns land near Buellton?
Search the address or click the tract on the ORMAP tax lot viewer; the Santa Barbara County record displays the owner of record and mailing address.
Why does a Santa Barbara County parcel list an LLC or trust as owner?
A tract near Lompoc held in trust is legally owned by the trust, so the trustee, not the beneficiaries, is the contact.

The tax mailing address is generally part of the public Santa Barbara County parcel record; an out-of-state address often means an absentee owner.
Why does the Santa Barbara County, California map display the previous owner?
