Search Hints

Parcel Number Search

Enter a complete parcel number to locate a specific parcel record or a partial parcel number to select a range of parcels. Partial parcel numbers are left most significant digits: for example a partial parcel number of '07' will yield most if not all of the parcels within the Montesano City limits, and likewise a partial number of '0703012' will produce a list of parcels in and around the 500 block of West Simpson in the City of Montesano. See examples below.

Address Search

Enter any combination of house number, street direction and or street name to select a range of parcels. The street name has the additional feature of being able to contain 'wildcard characters'; in this case, the percent ('%') symbol. By utilizing a wildcard character, you may now search for unknown information or select a broader range of records. See examples below.

Legal Description

Enter the appropriate key words and phrases to locate the desired parcel or parcels. Remember to separate the keywords and phrases with wildcard characters ('%'). The legal description can be very useful for narrowing your search down to a specific area or plat. See examples below.

Use Creative Searches

Don't be afraid to combine any and all of the search fields. By entering information into, say the parcel and street fields, you can affectively narrow your search down to a street name within a given city/area.See examples below.
