| Search Tips |
 |
| To find a property, first make
certain that you've selected the correct county. If your county
is not listed, it means that we do not currently have tax data
for the report you selected, in that county. |
| |
Parcel Search |
| |
Next select the
radio button next to the type of information you have to search
by: the Assessor's Parcel Number, the property owner's name
(the name registered with the county assessor), or the address
of the parcel. If you have an accurate Parcel Number, this is
the best search method. Full, correct parcel numbers should
give only once search result: the parcel you are looking for.
Remember to leave out all dashes and spaces when you enter a
parcel number. |

Address Search |
| |
Searches by address generally
give good search results, but since counties use different formats
for storing addresses in their property tax roll, it can be
challenging to find the proper format to search by. For instance,
it is best to avoid street types (i.e. Road, Street, Avenue,
Parkway, Lane, Court, Drive, etc). Simply entering the address's
number and the name of the street should be sufficient to give
you good search results. |
| |
|
| |
If your search comes up with
no results at all, you should use less information in your search.
For instance, if you were searching for a property owned by
Bill F. Mendelson, it might be advisable to enter only the last
name, since you may not be certain how the name is spelled on
the county's tax roll. |
| |
|
| |
Be careful not
to enter a search value that is too general, however. Entering
just "Smith" as a name is far too broad (because of
the huge number of Smiths in the database) and will likely result
in a "Server Timed Out" error.
Most difficulties with finding a property stem from formatting
variations that occur when the property tax roll is generated.
At some time the data was entered by a human, so errors do occur.
If you have only a street name, try different spellings of the
street, and remember not to add abbreviations like RD, ST, LN,
etc. Owner names can also be a problem, particularly when a
property has multiple or joint owners. If all else fails, the
Assessor's Parcel Number is almost guaranteed to work, and it
can be acquired from your county's assessor's office. |
