Opening the Webster Groves GIS map: start here
In most places the county maintains the parcel layer, which makes the St. Louis County ArcGIS parcel map the main source for lots in Webster Groves.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Go first to the St. Louis County ArcGIS parcel map; it covers each assessed parcel from Shrewsbury to Rock Hill. For a parcel near Glendale, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For property near Glendale, the record panel typically gives the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and often a sale date.
Browser tips
When the map won't open around Rock Hill, switch browsers or turn off pop-up blockers; the Platbookmapper county page tracks the current link.
Where Webster Groves fits in
The town lies within St. Louis County, Missouri, so its parcels are on the county's map, at least around Bellefontaine Neighbors. If you're looking near Shrewsbury, 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. Lots just outside the city limits out by Shrewsbury often falls under county rules instead.
Which office to call
For assessment questions about property around Marlborough go to the County Assessor, the office behind the parcel record. Building or septic questions for a lot near Marlborough are for the local planning and health departments, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Keeping a record
Print or screenshot the parcel near Shrewsbury with its ID visible, so you have it when calling an office.
Before you lean on the lines
Parcel lines are drawn for taxes, not measured on the ground, so a fence near Marlborough can sit some distance off the line on screen. If you're looking near Marlborough, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Places you'll see on the map
Clayton serves as the county seat, home to the main records offices. You'll also find Shrewsbury, Marlborough, Glendale, and Rock Hill, each with its own cluster of lots. Roughly 987,059 people live in St. Louis County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across some 508 square miles. St. Louis County was organized in 1812, and some chains of title near Marlborough are long. Places such as Spanish Lake Park and Babler State Park are easy to spot when you zoom out from Shrewsbury.
Three ways to find a parcel
Acreage around Shrewsbury might not have a street number, so zoom in from Interstate 64 and click the outline. For acreage around Rock Hill, searching by parcel number never misses, and it carries over to every office in the county.
Reading the legal description
Missouri follows the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Marlborough cite section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though sections near Shrewsbury can be irregular. Keep the legal description for land near Shrewsbury for any title or survey request.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
St. Louis County touches Madison County, IL, Monroe County, IL, St. Clair County, IL, Franklin County, and Jefferson County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Oakland can be split in two county records, so check the neighboring map too. For a tract near Brentwood, our state page lists every neighboring county map across Missouri.

The paper trail behind a parcel
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements for land near Oakland are kept by the Recorder of Deeds. For a tract near Shrewsbury, have ready the book and page listed on the parcel record so staff can find the deed fast.
Owner, value and acreage
If sale dates appear, they help gauge the market near Marlborough give a rough idea of values; an appraiser is the real authority.
