Maps that show Parcel Lines overlaying Satellite?

Question

Does anyone know of a free or very inexpensive Map site or app that will show satellite image and allow you to overlay the parcel line/property boundaries? I've just spent the last 45 minutes searching the web to no avail.

Thank you, Karen

I see what you are saying. that map site is very different from my county. i am not sure if there is a simpler way to view the property lines without obtaining a surveyor map from your county courthouse (may cost a few dollars) they sometimes have them available on a website but its not very common.. PA Is a bit behind the times with tech..  i wish there was more sites available as well for getting property lines but those are the only 2 ways i know of to get the lines.

#1 county GIS map. #2 county courthouse surveyor maps

it took me a while to navigate my counties site and map but i have it working now..

best of luck.

Thanks Jay,

I'm in Montgomery County, PA. There is a link for a GIS site, but it doesn't make any sense to me. It's here:

http://montcopa.maps.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?useExisting=1

The satellite part is easy, but then it has about a zillion layers you can add, but even though I clicked on add Parcels, it's not putting the boundary lines of the parcels up. I can't make heads or tales of it. The naming conventions for layers is very confusing too and I can't tell if the parcel layers I'm choosing will work in this county.

I'd appreciate any help, or a simpler site that just does those 2 things.

Thanks,

Karen

Hi Karen,

I'm I'm not sure how you're county site works but I know the Centre County tax site has a GIS map that you can do just that,  you can see each property outline and tax ID with the satellite overlay.

I just Google centre county tax assessor and it takes me to the site and just click on the GIS map and find your property.. FYI the map can be tricky to navigate.

Maybe Google search your county tax assessors site.

I hope that helps. if I knew what county you were in I could maybe help you find it.

Take care.
