What should I enter for the search criteria?
Owner Name
If you enter the letters DAV, the search will return all parcels whose owner's last names begin with DAV (example - DAVIS). Enter the owner's last name followed by a space before entering their first name. First names are always optional and are commonly abbreviated so you may have better results by entering the last name only.
Street Number
Enter the address number of the physical address located on the property you are searching for (example: 5480).
Street Name
Enter the name of the street only. - Often, the type of road (road, street, trail, court) and directional (north, south, east, west) are abbreviated and can be omitted from your search.
Parcel Number
Entering a parcel number such as 74-20-006 will return all of the parcels beginning with 74-20-006. Enter the dashes (-) in the parcel number to match the format 74-XX-XXXX-XXX (no spaces between dashes are needed).
Please note that multiple fields cannot be searched at the same time. So, only the active box (when you hit ENTER) or the item that you clicked to “Search” is queried.
How does the parcel number break down?
The Anatomy of a Parcel Number
Example: 74-25-035-1006-000
74: Every parcel ID begins with the 74 number that designates the property as a St Clair County parcel.
25: Each parcel ID number has a number that indicates the local government unit - in this case the property is located in Kimball Township (see list below).
035: The next set of numbers corresponds to the public land survey section the parcel is located in OR the subdivision plat/condominium plan the condominium is located.
1006: This portion of the number is the actual parcel number that usually identifies the parcel/lot within a given section/subdivision plat/condominium plan.
000: This last portion of the number usually changes when a parcel spilt occurs.
