New assessor parcels are not created during May and June of each year due to annual tax roll preparation processes.

Contact our office at and a member of our Mapping staff will provide an estimate of when the new number s will be available. The Sacramento County Assessor sends letters to property owners when the legal description shown on a recorded deed does not properly identify the assessor parcel. Sometimes title companies make mistakes in filing deeds, so you are not exempt if you used a title company. You should correct the document whenever possible, as it is the legal basis for your property ownership.

The Sacramento County Assessor does not verify, insure or guarantee title. If you used a title company, that should be your first stop toward getting the issue resolved. If you did not use a title company, you may need to seek legal help from an attorney or professional land surveyor. Despite recording errors, the assessor is required by law to assess all property in the County based on the information available.

You will need your street address or fourteen-digit parcel number in order to bring up your map. You can locate your parcel number on your valuation notice, tax bill, deed, or by calling our office at Office Hours are Monday - Friday, 8 a. Being based on recorded documents, the assessor parcel maps may not match exactly what is seen or measured in person and overlays on aerial photographs may not reflect actual parcel boundaries.

Assessor Maps are NOT surveys and as such should not be used in either defining property lines or in resolving disputes between neighbors. The Assessor's office mapping staff is always available to answer your questions about how your property is mapped and numbered for assessment purposes. Not necessarily. A copy of the legal description for your property can be found on the most recent recorded deed.

If you do not have a copy of your deed, you can get a copy at the Sacramento County Clerk-Recorder's Office. Your property boundaries are defined by the legal description on your deed. The language on the deed typically references distances and bearings. It may also reference a specific lot or parcel of a subdivision or parcel map which has the legal boundaries delineated on the recorded map. To identify the physical boundaries of your property, you will need to contact a licensed land surveyor or civil engineer.

Professional land surveyors and civil engineers are licensed by the State of California and may be verified at the License L ook-up for California-Licensed Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors. If you have a disagreement with your neighbor over the placement of a fence, this is a private civil matter that cannot be resolved by the Assessor.

We recommend that you contact a licensed professional land surveyor for assistance at the License Look-up for California-Licensed Professional Engineers and Land Surveyors.

Assessor's parcel maps may reference records of surveys or other recorded maps within a given area. On the assessor's parcel map, parcels or blocks of parcels with bolded corners and a reference number indicate recorded maps are available for the designated area. Recorded maps and surveys can be viewed in person at the County Clerk-Recorder's Office. Please note that the lack of notation of a recorded map or survey on an assessor parcel map does not mean a recorded map or survey does not exist.

Contact the County Clerk-Recorder to confirm the presence or lack thereof of a recorded map or survey. Contact them by phone at Easements can be created by maps, by deeds, or by agreements between parties. An easement may be referenced in the legal descriptions of a recorded deed. Documents creating easements may be recorded separately from or after the original deed is recorded.

Often the easiest way to locate an easement is by obtaining a preliminary title report from a title company. Please note that the United States Post Office may designate or associate your property with the city responsible for mail delivery which may be a different jurisdiction than the jurisdiction where the property is located.
