Searching for a parcel, step by step
- Press the button above to open Beacon, the Schneider Geospatial parcel platform this county uses. Accept the usage terms if asked.
- Search by address, owner or parcel number, or zoom in and click a lot.
- From a parcel's pop-up, open the full record to see values, sales or building data where the county shares them.
- Switch layers on or off to compare parcels with aerials, zoning or other overlays.
If an address search comes up empty, try the parcel number from a tax bill or deed instead, or click the lot on the map.
