The official viewer behind the Winooski GIS map
In most places the county maintains the parcel layer, which makes the Vermont Parcel Viewer the main source for lots in Winooski.
Pulling up a parcel
Go first to the Vermont Parcel Viewer; it includes each tax parcel from South Burlington to Jericho. If you only know roughly where the land is, pan along US Route 7 until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want. Closer to Burlington, a pop-up or side panel usually lists the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
Where Winooski fits in
Winooski lies within Chittenden County, Vermont, which means parcel data comes from the county. Out toward South Burlington, the municipality handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the city limits near Jericho generally falls under county rules instead.

Chittenden County borders Clinton County, NY, Essex County, NY, Addison County, Franklin County, and Grand Isle County, all with their own assessor records. Ground near South Burlington that runs to the line may show up in two county records, so open the adjacent map before you assume the acreage. The Platbookmapper state page links each neighboring county map for Vermont.
Getting your bearings
Burlington is the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find Essex Junction, South Burlington, and Shelburne. Roughly 169,481 people live in Chittenden County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across roughly 537 square miles. Chittenden County was formed in 1787, and some chains of title near Essex Junction are long.
Three ways to find a parcel
Vacant ground near South Burlington may lack an address, which means panning to it and clicking. Out toward Essex Junction, searching by parcel number never misses, and you'll find it on tax statements.
The paper trail behind a parcel
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements for land near Essex Junction sit with the town clerk. Long-held tracts near Essex Junction can go back through many deeds, so a title company earns its fee on a real sale.
Who handles what
Recorded documents for a parcel near St. George are with the town clerk, usually searchable by name or document number. Building or septic questions for a lot near St. George are for the local planning and health departments, town or county, depending on location.
On site with the map
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Essex Junction, though signal can drop in rural spots. A printout of the tract near Essex Junction is a good backup.
Sections, lots and bearings
Older tracts around Shelburne commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, listing bearings, distances and landmarks. Platted lots around Essex Junction are typically described by lot and block, making them easier to find. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near St. George for any title or survey request.
Limits of the parcel data
Acreage on the record is an estimate; just a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary on land around Shelburne. For a parcel near Jericho, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Beyond the parcel lines

Saving what you find

Troubleshooting the viewer
If the viewer stalls on a phone near Essex Junction, switch browsers or turn off pop-up blockers; links occasionally change, and our directory page keeps the current one.
Owner, value and acreage
Recent sales on nearby lots in Winooski give a rough idea of values; they're not an appraisal.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
