Who runs this map
The link goes to a statewide map (Vermont Parcel Viewer (VCGI)). It shows parcels for Franklin County along with the rest of Vermont. Because a state agency compiles this layer from local data, check with the Franklin County assessor or recorder before relying on a recent change. When we tested the link in October 2026 it opened with no login and no fee.
Searching for a parcel, step by step
- Open Vermont Parcel Viewer (VCGI) in a new tab and zoom to Franklin County (around Saint Albans).
- Type a street address into the search box, or click directly on a parcel.
- Review the parcel attributes; field names vary by state.
- Confirm anything important with the county assessor, since the statewide layer is a compiled copy.
Rural addresses don't always geocode well. When that happens, zoom in by hand and click the parcel, or search by owner name.

Before you rely on the lines
The lines you see online are approximate. They're good for finding a lot and its parcel number, but a legal boundary question needs the recorded plat or a surveyor.
