This page helps users complete a Property Search in Guilford County, North Carolina, and understand where to look for parcel, tax bill, appraisal, GIS, and real estate record information.

The main self-service option is the Guilford County Property Search, supported by the Guilford County Tax Department for appraisal and property record questions.

Use the Guilford County Property Search to search real property records by several parcel identifiers.

  • Owner or business name
  • Location address
  • REID
  • PIN

After entering search criteria, use the search results to review parcel information. The results page also notes that hovering may show additional owners.

  • Enter an owner name, business name, address, REID, or PIN.
  • Select search to display matching parcels.
  • Review the parcel results and adjust the search if no records appear.

Tip: If the record is hard to find, try a different identifier, such as the PIN instead of the owner name.

Property record coverage and update limits

The property records shown in the county system reflect information as it exists in the Guilford County property tax system. The data may change daily.

Real property in North Carolina is subject to annual listing and valuation as it exists on January 1. The property search notes that real property assessments are based on market values as of the last countywide reappraisal in 2026.

The county also states that property records and mapping data are not guaranteed for accuracy, completeness, reliability, or suitability. Users should verify important details with the proper county office before relying on a record for legal, financial, or transaction decisions.

Parcel research and GIS tools

For broader parcel ownership data research, the Guilford County Parcel Data Research Application helps users build a query, perform a search, and export results to CSV.

The Parcel Data Research Application supports a step-based query process:

  • Select an operator.
  • Select one of the available search categories.
  • Enter or select search criteria.
  • Add the criteria to the search box.
  • Perform the search.
  • Export the full results document to CSV when needed.

For map-based review, the GIS Data Viewer provides access to Guilford County geospatial data. The county cautions that GIS datasets and maps are not survey-grade or legal documents.

Tax bills and payment records

Property search users who need billing information can use the Guilford County Bill Search. It searches by owner or business name, bill number, parcel ID, or property address.

The bill search includes filters for tax year, bill type, and bill status. Available bill status filters include DEFERRED, PAID, and UNPAID.

Guilford County also provides online payment information through the My Property page.

The county lists these payment-related fees:

Payment type Fee

Real property listing, reappraisal, and appeals

The Guilford County Tax Department handles real property listing, appraisal, assessment, and tax relief program administration. The department includes both the Assessor and Collector Offices.

The Real Property Listing and Appeals page provides information on reappraisal values, parcel detail review, and appeal tools.

For the 2026 reappraisal, the county stated that residential notices would be mailed in mid-February and commercial notices in mid-March. The appeal deadline listed for 2026 was May 15, 2026, at 5 p.m. EST.

Deeds and recorded real estate documents

Parcel and tax records are different from recorded land documents. For deeds, deeds of trust, mortgages, satisfactions, plats, certified copies, and related real estate filings, use the Guilford County Register of Deeds.

The county provides an online real estate records search for Register of Deeds records. Official records are maintained by the Register of Deeds Office in Greensboro.

The Recording and Real Estate page lists recording requirements, copy fees, deed excise tax information, and real estate document request details.
