Each parcel is given a unique number to identify it. This number is listed on your Notice of Value and can be used to search for your property on the Assessor's and Treasurer's websites. The number consists of three to four parts which gradually identify parcels with more specificity. The first three digits of the number are the Assessor's book number which covers large parts of the county. The next two digits are the Assessor's map number which is the map within the book. Finally, the last three digits are the Assessor's item number identifying the specific property. Sometimes, when the parcel has been split, you will see a letter after the last three numbers identifying which part of the split it is.

Below are some tips to assist you in finding what you are looking for.
