Search tips for property tax records

Property number searches work best when the full number is entered exactly. A real property number uses the format 45-00-00-000-000.000-000, while a personal property number uses the format 45-000-00000-00.

For owner, mailing address, and location searches, avoid symbols and special characters. Fully spell street or city names when you need a more specific match.

• Use fewer owner or address details if the first search has no results.
• Do not use street direction, street name, or street type when searching by PO box number.
• Avoid street types such as Lane, Street, or Avenue when trying to return more address matches.
• Avoid directions such as North, South, East, or West when a location search is too narrow.
