How to use the Stevens County land for sale
On the Washington Current Parcels layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer, turn on aerial imagery and look for tracts close to Colville with no buildings; the record typically shows a land-only value with no improvements. If the county viewer shows sales history, compare a few similar tracts close to Marcus; it is a starting point, not an appraisal.
Step one: the free Stevens County viewer
There's no separate Stevens County parcel site to hunt for; the Washington Current Parcels layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer carries the county's parcels along with the rest of Washington. Use the search box for an address in Kettle Falls or a parcel number, or simply zoom in and click a property near Colville. Bookmark our Stevens County page too; it tracks the official Washington link if it moves and lists the maps around Kettle Falls.
Access, flood, zoning and utilities
Start with access for a property near Marcus: confirm the county parcel touches a public road, as the map alone will not display an easement. Flood zones change what you can build near Marcus; look up the tract on FEMA's Flood Map Service Center. Ask the county or town office in Colville about zoning, minimum lot size and splits, well before you make an offer.

Reaching owners of land near Colville

Carrying costs for land near Kettle Falls
