For any lot around Kenhorst, the Shillington GIS map shows the outline, the owner of record and a parcel ID. In this Shillington guide: which viewer to open, the fastest ways to search, and the limits worth knowing.
Where the Shillington GIS map lives
In most places the county maintains the parcel layer, and for Shillington that means the PASDA Pennsylvania Tax Parcels viewer.
The viewer Berks County publishes
Begin with the PASDA Pennsylvania Tax Parcels viewer; it maps every tax parcel around Mohnton and West Reading. For property near Reading, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. If you're looking near Wyomissing, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and sometimes recent sales.
Where Shillington fits in
Shillington lies within Berks County, Pennsylvania, and the county assessor maps its lots. For land near Wyomissing, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the town limits near West Reading generally answers to county rules instead.
Three ways to find a parcel
Addresses are the easiest route inside Shillington; owner names are usually entered last name first. Out toward Sinking Spring, a parcel ID is the most reliable search, and it's printed on tax bills.
Where the recorded documents are
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements for land near Mohnton are filed with the Recorder of Deeds. Long-held tracts around West Reading can go back through many deeds, and a title company is worth hiring before a purchase.
What the layers show
An aerial view around Mohnton shows roofs, driveways and tree lines next to the parcel edges.
Land on the county line
With a lot near Sinking Spring, Berks County touches Chester County, Lancaster County, Lebanon County, Lehigh County, and Montgomery County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Kenhorst may show up across two assessors' files, so check the adjacent map as well. For land near Mohnton, our state page lists every bordering county map for Pennsylvania.
Getting answers from the right desk
For assessment questions about property around Kenhorst are handled by the county assessment office, the office behind the parcel record. Questions about what you can build around Sinking Spring need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Places you'll see on the map
Reading is the county seat, where most land records are kept. You'll also find Kenhorst, Mohnton, Wyomissing, and West Reading, where town lots give way to larger tracts. About 432,821 people call Berks County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) on roughly 856 square miles. For a home near West Reading, Berks County was organized in 1752, so old deeds can run back a long way. Places such as French Creek State Park help you orient on the aerial around Wyomissing.
Keeping a record
Print or screenshot the parcel near Mohnton with its ID visible, which helps later when you ask the assessor or a title company.
How land is described here
Tracts outside towns near Sinking Spring are often described by metes and bounds, which trace the boundary call by call. Platted lots around Mohnton usually use lot and block from a recorded plat instead, making them easier to find. Write down the legal description for the tract near Sinking Spring when you talk to a surveyor.
Troubleshooting the viewer
When the map won't open around Mohnton, switch browsers or turn off pop-up blockers; the Platbookmapper county page tracks the current link.
Owner, value and acreage
The record for a parcel near Wyomissing typically lists owner, mailing address, assessed value and acreage.
Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Kenhorst, so load it before you lose signal. A saved image of the lot near Kenhorst and its lines keeps working without signal.
A word on accuracy
Acreage on the record is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real boundary on land around Mohnton. For property near Kenhorst, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
