Text and Map Search Help

Text Search Tutorial

To search for your property, type your name (last name first) into the owner input box and click on the search button next to it. The bottom of the page will then show all of the properties associated with your name. You can also find your properties by typing in your address or if you know the parcel number of the property you are searching for, you can input those into the approriate boxes and click on the corresponding search button.

Map Search Tutorial

If you are in the map portion of the site, you have multiple options for finding your property. You can search by the above text methods, located at the top of the map area plus you can search by Section-Township-Range, or by simply using the GetInfo button and clicking on your property on the map. At the top of the map screen you can click on the different search types to be able to input the corresponding data, and then click Submit.

Section-Township-Range Search
The Section-Township-Range search is located on the map page of this website. On the right side of the screen you will see a "Search Criteria" box, where you need to select the "S/T/R" option. Enter in the Section, Township, and Range, then click "Submit". The map to the left will zoom you right to this Section-Township-Range, if found, and then you can select parcels or move the map from there. The S/T/R search will not select anything but will allow you to be able to find information efficiently. This search keeps any previous selections you have made as selection will only change when you do another text search or use the "Get Info" tool.

Map Help

Map Tools
The tools at the bottom of the map screen are for navigating and select properties on the map.

• The Zoom In tool can be used in two differnt ways. First, you can simply single click on the map and the map will zoom in and center on that point. Also, you can use the mouse to draw a box and the map will zoom to the extent of the box you drew.
• The Zoom Out tool is used by simply clicking on the map. This zooms the map extent out and recenters on the point where you clicked.
• The Pan tool allows you to move the map by clicking on the map, holding the mouse button down, move the mouse and then releasing the button.
• The Get Info tool allows you to get information for a property by simply clicking on that property on the map. Then you can get the information by clicking on the parcel number on the right under the Search Results.
• The Full Extent button takes the map extent back to the county wide view.
• The Zoom To Selected button zooms the map extent so that you can see all of the properties that are selected. So if you are at a county wide level with two or three properties selected it will zoom in right to those properties. Also, if you are zoomed in close to look at one property but many are selected then it will zoom out so you can see all of them at once.

Layer Control
If you want to view an aerial picture of the buildings on your property you must switch the layer control to have the Obliques be identifiable. To see what is identifiable you click on the tab called Layer Control in the bottom right corner of the screen. The layer that has the round button with the dot in the middle is the currently identifiable layer. So if parcels is identifiable and you select a parcel on the map you will get information about that parcel. If the oblique layer is identifiable and you click on an oblique point on the map you can view that image by clicking on the filename under Search Results on the right part of the screen. To change which layer is identifiable, click the radio button next to the approriate name and then click the Update Map button. The check boxes next to the layer names indicates whether or not that layer can be visible. So if you want to make it so the imagery doesn't show up when you are zoomed in close, simply uncheck the box next to Imagery, click the Update Map button and the imagery won't show up again until you turn it back on and update the map.
