Wapato and the county around it

With a lot near Moxee, city or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Lots just outside the city limits out by Harrah often answers to county rules, not municipal ones.
Where the recorded documents are
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements covering ground around Union Gap sit with the County Auditor. Long-held tracts around Zillah can sit on several deeds, and a title company is worth hiring if money is changing hands.
What the owner name means
In and around Union Gap, the owner field shows who the tax bill names, which may be a person, a trust, a company or an estate. "Estate of" on a record near Toppenish often points to an open probate, and the executor handles questions.
