Wondering who holds title to a property near Lockwood? A Storey County property owner search answers that straight from the assessor's data. This Storey County guide covers: where to search, what trusts, estates and LLCs mean, and how to confirm with the deed.
Getting started with the Storey County property owner search
Use the County Parcels in Nevada layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer for a Storey County property owner search; search by address, owner name or parcel ID.
The free map to start with
Parcels around Virginia City are published on the County Parcels in Nevada layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer, which opens without registering. With a lot near Virginia City Highlands, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. In and around Lockwood, write down the parcel ID from that panel; each records desk in the county will want it.
Taxes on the record
The record for a parcel near Lockwood often lists value and tax amounts; the County Assessor sets values and the treasurer or collector bills taxes.
Who the record really names
With a lot near Virginia City Highlands, the record lists the owner of record, sometimes a trust or LLC. An estate listed as owner near Gold Hill often points to an open probate, and the executor handles questions.
Places you'll see on the map
Virginia City holds the county offices, where most land records are kept. You'll also find Clark, Gold Hill, Lockwood, and Virginia City Highlands, where town lots give way to larger tracts. About 4,177 people live in Storey County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across some 264 square miles. The county was organized in 1861, and some chains of title near Clark are long.
Recorded documents worth pulling
Before you sign anything, get the recorded deed from the County Recorder; the parcel line is a drawing of it, for land near Gold Hill included. For a tract near Gold Hill, use the document number listed on the parcel record and the lookup takes minutes.
When you need more than the map
For a home near Gold Hill, a viewer entry isn't legal proof; the recorded deed at the County Recorder is.
Looking around the parcel
Look at adjoining lots near Virginia City Highlands for context on nearby owners and uses; that's handy for easements and access.
Field tips
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Clark, so load it before you lose signal. A printout of the tract near Clark is a good backup.
Contacting an owner politely
A short letter to the mailing address on the record works better than knocking unannounced for property around Virginia City.

Storey County meets Lyon County, Washoe County, and Carson City, all with their own assessor records.

Reading the legal description
Nevada follows the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Clark reference sections and townships. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though corrections make some sections near Gold Hill odd-sized. Write down the legal description for the tract near Virginia City Highlands before you request a deed or survey.
Before you lean on the lines
Listed acreage is an assessed number; only a licensed surveyor can set the real lines for a parcel near Virginia City Highlands. Closer to Virginia City, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
