Analyst Toolbox

Assessor and GIS Websites

Product: Property Mapping and Ownership

Many cities and counties have websites that allow you to search properties. Below are some examples of the types of information you can get:

-GIS, with satellite view with property lines
-Sketch of structure layout
-Owners name
-Dates of sale and amount of transaction
-Photographs of the property

My hometown of Cedar Rapids, IA has a very good site. You can check it out at cedar-rapids.org/assessor/pmc/

To see if a town or county has a website, do a simple google search.
