Map Search

Some of the databases used to create base map themes and map overlays are available for the user to search.

Your choices can be either "Database Search" or "Radial Search". The "Database Search" will locate a single property or road name. The "Radial Search" will conduct a neighborhood or proximity search from a property or on-screen object and display in a text box all objects that are within a specified distance (e.g. 300 ft).

Steps to run a Database Search

  1. Select the database (if only one database is searchable the name of that database will be italicized)
  2. Select the "field" to search on. (e.g. parcel number, owner name)
  3. Enter the text to search on. (e.g. 005-008-001-00, or Smith)
    If you selected parcel number, type in a valid property number
    If you selected owner name, type in an owner name
  4. Click "Submit"
The object that was found will be highlighted in yellow.
