Getting started with the Smithfield GIS map
In most places the county maintains the parcel layer, which makes the Isle of Wight County ArcGIS parcel map the main source for lots in Smithfield.
Opening the official parcel viewer
The official parcel map for this area is the Isle of Wight County ArcGIS parcel map, and no login is needed to use it. Without an address in hand, pan along US Route 460 and click the parcel itself. For land near Camptown, a pop-up or side panel normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
Getting your bearings
You'll also find Windsor and Camptown, each with its own cluster of lots. Roughly 40,711 people live in Isle of Wight County (Census estimate, 2023) spread over some 316 square miles. Isle of Wight County was formed in 1637, which matters when you trace an old farm's title. Features like Blackwater River are easy to spot when you zoom out from Camptown.
Next door to Isle of Wight County
Isle of Wight County meets James City County, Southampton County, Surry County, Franklin city, and Newport News city, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Camptown may be split in two county records, so look at the neighboring map as well. Our state page links each neighboring county map across Virginia.
Reading the legal description
Tracts outside towns near Windsor are often described by metes and bounds, a series of courses and distances from a starting point. Town lots near Camptown usually use lot and block from a recorded plat instead, which is simpler to follow. Write down the legal description for the tract near Camptown for any title or survey request.
On site with the map
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Camptown, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Camptown keeps working without signal.
When the map won't load
When the map won't open around Windsor, try a desktop browser or clear the cache; links occasionally change, and our directory page keeps the current one.
Smithfield and the county around it
Smithfield sits in Isle of Wight County, Virginia, so its parcels are on the county's map. If you're looking near Windsor, city or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the city limits out by Camptown usually falls under county rules rather than the town's.
Searching the map
Acreage around Camptown might not have a street number, so zoom in from US Route 460 and click the outline. If you're looking near Camptown, searching by parcel number never misses, and it carries over to every office in the county.
Offices that can help
Anything recorded against property around Windsor come from the Clerk of the Circuit Court, usually searchable by name or document number. Building or septic questions for a lot near Camptown need the planning or permitting office, town or county, depending on location.
Recorded documents worth pulling
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements for parcels in the county sit with the Clerk of the Circuit Court. Inherited tracts around Camptown may trace back through several deeds, and a title company can sort it out before a purchase.
Saving what you find
