View Parcel Information Use one of the following three options to view parcel information. You may search using all or part of a (1) parcel number, (2) owner name, or (3) site address. Filling in some of the information will return more results. Note: a maximum of one hundred parcels will display. Note: After clicking the search button, a page will display with the specific parcel or a list of parcels. If you need additional information, you must click the parcel number. 1. Search for a Parcel by Parcel Number If you have a parcel number, you can type the number in the parcel number box and click the search button. Note: The parcel number has 18 digits. The following example shows a breakdown of the parcel number. 012200323016029000 Most of the parcel number can be found on the Jefferson County Tax Assessor Property Tax notice. The County designation and subarea are not listed on the tax notice. The County designation is 01 (Jefferson) and the subarea is 00 (Jefferson). The parcel should have six digits. You must add three zeros to the end of the number for a total of six digits 2. Search for a Parcel by Owner’s Name If you know the name of the owner, you can search for information By name. Last name must be first. Type the appropriate information in the box and click search. 3. Search for a Parcel by Site Address If you do not know the parcel number, you can search for information by site address. Type the appropriate information in the boxes and click search. Note: Addresses can be tricky. If you enter an address and no information is returned, you may need to enter less or more information. Example: If 707 20^th St W does not return any results, try entering 707 20^th St. Street directions can be important. Using the direction will return fewer choices. Leaving it off will give you a longer list to choose from. For example, “14^th Ave” could return addresses on “14th Ave N “, 14^th Ave S,” or “14^th Ave NW”. A Special Case: Some addresses in Ensley must be entered carefully. Usually the words “avenue” or “court” are abbreviated in the type field. In Ensley, these words are considered part of the address name and must be spelled out and included in the Street Name field. Examples are “’Avenue U”, “Court W”, and “Terrace M”.
