Selecting a Search Type
You can choose to search property records either by address or by map number. An option also exists for performing a map search.
To select a search type, you can click one of the icons in the "Search Types" section on the home page OR you can follow the link on the upper right side of the page to "Property Search" and select a search type from the top menu of that page.
Searching by Address:
You can use a street number or name to locate properties using this search option. You can also use a fragment of a street name, combined with an asterisk, to locate records. The case format of your entry - upper or lower case - is not recognized for this search. If you use all lower case, names with capitals that match the letters you enter are also returned.
Number: Enter a street number.
Unit: Enter a unit number for apartments and condominiums.
Street: Enter a street name. Use an asterisk "*" before or after the street name to use partial details (i.e., enter Sun* to find all properties on streets that start with SUN).
Suffix: From the list, choose a street type. For best results, leave Suffix blank.
Searching by Map Number:
You can use the unique map number to locate properties using this option. You can also use a fragment of a map number, combined with an asterisk before or after the map number, to search using partial details (i.e., enter 100* to find all properties where the map number starts with "100").
Navigating Search Results:
Your search results may include one, several, or hundreds of property records. To view a specific property record, click on one of the search results rows. You can always return to the search results list from the property record details.
Displayed on the upper-right of the results list, you can see the number of records returned from your search.
On the lower-right, you can see the total number of pages and navigate through the pages by either selecting a specific page or by using the next and previous arrows.
