This page helps you handle a Property Search in Licking County, Ohio, using official county resources for parcel, tax, value, transfer, and map information.

The main public tool is OnTrac, the Licking County property search system associated with the Licking County Auditor’s Office. The county also provides a Tax Parcel Viewer for map-based parcel research.

Use OnTrac property search to search Licking County parcel records and review available property details.

OnTrac supports several search filters, including:

  • Tax year
  • Search type
  • Owner
  • House number and street name
  • Tax district, township, municipality, school district, neighborhood, and LUC
  • Transfer date, acreage, market value, year built, living area, bedroom count, and bathroom count ranges

After finding a parcel, review the available parcel tabs and labels carefully. The system includes information areas for land, map, parcel, structures, taxes, bill history, payments, penalties, reductions, specials, transfers, and values.

  • Open OnTrac and use the parcel search fields that best match what you know.
  • Select the correct parcel from the results list.
  • Review owner, mailing address, parcel address, legal description, acreage, class, tax district, school district, and value information.
  • Use the tax and transfer sections when you need billing, payment, or ownership-change details.

Search tip: If a parcel number is available, it can be the most direct way to reach the right record.

Licking County Tax Parcel Viewer

The Licking County Tax Parcel Viewer provides map-based access to local government property tax and assessment information. You can locate a parcel by clicking the map or searching by address, owner name, or auditor’s PIN number.

For address searches, use abbreviated directions and road types without periods. For name searches, use the format last name, first name. For auditor’s PIN searches, enter the PIN without spaces or in the county’s parcel-number format.

The viewer also includes map tools such as basemap imagery, layers, search, property map creation, report downloads, measurement tools, and parcel selection.

Map caution: The parcel viewer is for reference use and is not an official land survey or legal property description.

GIS parcel downloads

Licking County offers GIS downloads for users who need broader parcel or mapping data instead of a single property lookup. Available download categories include municipal boundaries, parcels, road centerline, road right of way, and township area.

The county states that GIS data is projected to the Ohio State Plane South Zone Coordinate System, NAD 83, in feet. The Licking County GIS downloads page also notes that parcel and map data is for reference purposes and may change as county information is updated.
