Getting started with the White Oak property search
Use the Allegheny County ArcGIS parcel map for a White Oak property search; try the address first, then the owner's name.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Begin with the Allegheny County ArcGIS parcel map; it includes every assessed parcel around East McKeesport and McKeesport. For a tract near Trafford, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it.

White Oak and the county around it
White Oak lies within Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, which means parcel data comes from the county. In and around East McKeesport, 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. Acreage past the town limits near Trafford often answers to county rules, not municipal ones.
Using it on a phone
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Duquesne, so load it before you lose signal. A saved image of the lot near Wall and its lines helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Recorded documents worth pulling
For anything that matters, get the recorded deed from the Recorder of Deeds; the parcel map near Wall only summarizes it. For a home near McKeesport, have ready the book and page listed on the parcel record to skip a name search.
Legal descriptions in Pennsylvania

Trusts, estates and LLCs
Near Duquesne, the record lists the owner of record, sometimes a trust or LLC. "Estate of" on a record near East McKeesport often points to an open probate, so the personal representative is the contact.
A word on accuracy

Which office to call
For assessment questions about property around Wall belong with the county assessment office, since that office keeps the assessment data. Questions about what you can build around Versailles need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
