A Woodbury property search: start here
Use the Washington County ArcGIS parcel map for a Woodbury property search; addresses, names and parcel numbers all work.
Pulling up a parcel
Begin with the Washington County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps every assessed parcel from Newport to Afton. If you only know roughly where the land is, pan along Interstate 494 until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want. If you're looking near Afton, save the parcel ID before closing the panel; every records desk in the county asks for it first.
Woodbury and the county around it
Woodbury sits in Washington County, Minnesota, which means parcel data comes from the county. For a parcel near Newport, 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 toward Oakdale generally answers to county rules, not municipal ones.
Taking the map into the field
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Landfall, though signal can drop in rural spots. A printout of the tract near Cottage Grove helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Where the recorded documents are
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements for land near Landfall sit with the County Recorder. Long-held tracts near Lake Elmo may go back through several deeds, so a title company can sort it out if money is changing hands.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Washington County touches Anoka County, Chisago County, Dakota County, Ramsey County, and Pierce County, WI, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. A tract near the line by Oakdale may show up in two county records, so open the adjacent map as well. For a tract near Newport, our state page links every neighboring county map for Minnesota.
Getting answers from the right desk
Recorded documents for a parcel near Afton come from the County Recorder, often with an online index. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Afton go to planning, building or health offices, town or county, depending on location.
How land is described here
Minnesota follows the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Afton cite section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though sections near Afton can be irregular. Keep the legal description for land near Landfall when you talk to a surveyor.
A quick look at the area
Stillwater is the county seat, where most land records are kept. Other places on the map include Landfall, Newport, Afton, and Lake Elmo. Roughly 278,936 people live in Washington County (Census estimate, 2023) on about 385 square miles. Washington County dates to 1849, and some chains of title near Newport are long. Landmarks such as Afton State Park make handy reference points on the map near Newport.
Trusts, estates and LLCs
For an LLC on a parcel near Oakdale, look it up in the state's business registry. An estate listed as owner near Landfall usually means title hasn't passed yet after a death, and the executor handles questions.
Tax data in the record
The record for a parcel near Landfall often lists value and tax amounts; questions about value go to the County Assessor.
When you need more than the map
For acreage around Lake Elmo, a viewer entry isn't legal proof; the recorded deed at the County Recorder is.
A word on accuracy
The acreage figure is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real boundary on land around Cottage Grove. For acreage around Oakdale, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Making contact
Say which parcel near Cottage Grove, what you'd like and your contact details; owners of rural land near Newport may live far away.
Context from nearby lots
Look at adjoining lots near Newport to see who owns the neighboring land; that's handy for easements and access.
