Click a parcel on the map or in the list, and its card opens on the right.
Owner, mailing address, acres and tax value are there for every parcel. Site measurements are there in covered counties, and sales where the county publishes them. Where something is missing, the card says so rather than showing a zero.

The top
The address, then photos: aerial with the outline, older photos, topo and Street View. Beside the address: + List, ⋯ (link, PDF report, directions) and ×.
Owner, acres, value, sale
Acres are measured from the county’s map outline, not the deed.
Tax value is the county’s number for property tax, often years behind the market.
Last sale shows price and price per acre where the county publishes sales. Deeds under $1,000 show as Non-market (gifts, family transfers).
Owner & mailing says whether the owner is a person or company, and whether they’re absentee (the tax bill goes elsewhere).
The land
Road frontage, buildings, buildable acres, and the shares in flood zone, wetland and steep ground, plus creeks, ponds and lake frontage. A dash means the county isn’t measured yet or the parcel is under 2 acres. See How buildable acres are measured.
Zoning and stormwater
Whose zoning applies (the town inside town limits, otherwise the county) and the stormwater program. The zoning district itself is under At this spot, where the county publishes a zoning map.
Further down
The county’s own tax card where it’s online, What else this owner owns (with List them), Tracker tags, Notes, and links to the county’s pages. The Go / Review later / No-go bar stays at the bottom; see Save lists and decisions.
The card is right for screening, not for closing. Confirm flood, wetland and access with a survey and the county before you buy.
Words used on this page
Buildable acres
The parcel's acres minus flood zone, wetland, open water and ground steeper than 15%.
Road frontage
How many feet of the parcel's edge run along a public road. Zero means it may be landlocked or reached by an easement.
Absentee owner
An owner whose tax bill goes to an address other than the parcel itself. Out-of-state and overseas owners are kinds of absentee owner.
Tax value
The county's value for property tax. Often years out of date, and not what the land would sell for.
Sale price
What was paid at the last recorded sale, from the deed. Sales under $1,000 (gifts, family transfers, corrections) are not treated as market sales.
Stormwater program
The rules for how new building handles rain runoff. An area can have a local program, a state program or none; none usually means less cost and review.
