A Wicomico County property owner search: start here
In and around Nanticoke, open the Maryland FINDER Online to start; search by address, owner name or parcel ID.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Begin with the Maryland FINDER Online; it maps every tax parcel from Nanticoke Acres to Jesterville. For a home near Salisbury, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. For a home near Allen, write down the parcel ID from that panel; each office in the county uses it to find the file.
What the owner name means
Out toward Nanticoke, the record lists the owner of record, and that isn't always a person. An estate listed as owner near Allen usually means title hasn't passed yet after a death, and the executor handles questions.
What the map can't tell you

On site with the map
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Allen, though signal can drop in rural spots. A screenshot of the parcel near Jesterville with its ID is a good backup.
The paper trail behind a parcel
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements covering ground around Salisbury sit with the Clerk of the Circuit Court (land records). For property near Mardela Springs, have ready the document number shown in the record panel and the lookup takes minutes.
