Searching Public Records

The Tax Search screen appears.

Use the fields shown to search for properties.  Note that searching by map is available either by switching to the map tab in the upper right hand corner or clicking the phrase Map Search in the Location section.  Additional fields to search by can be added by clicking the Add link shown to the right of the words Additional Fields toward the bottom of the search panel.  Note that if you already have additional fields showing, the link instead becomes Add/Remove.

 

There are some special characters you can use to get the results you want.

  • + (plus sign): Indicates greater than or equal to: Allows you to search for values that are greater than or equal to the value you entered. When using the + character, it must follow the value you enter. Bathrooms: 3+  Finds all listings that have 3 or more bathrooms.
  • - (minus sign): Indicates less than or equal to: Allows you to search for values that are less than or equal to the value you entered. When using the – character, it must follow the value you enter. Bathrooms: 4-  Finds all listings that have 4 bathrooms or less.
  • Range: You can enter a range; for example for year built, you can:
    • Enter 2003 for exactly 2003
    • Enter 2003-2013 for the range.
    • Use 2003+ for 2003 or newer.
    • Use 2003- for 2003 or older.

When searching by Subdivision/Complex or other text fields type the name of the item you wish to search in the provided field.  Use a comma to separate individual parameters such as the names of two items. If the full name is not known, or the spelling is unclear, use the asterisk (*) as a wildcard to replace the missing information. *Circle C*. To exclude a value use the (!) to exclude that value. !*Circle C* this returns all listings NOT in Circle C.

 The bar at the bottom of the screen will show a current match count between buttons to clear entered criteria and see the current map page.

 
To see a grid list view of the current matches, click either the Results button in the lower left bar or the Results tab in the upper right corner of the search pane.
