Finding your property tax ID number is easier than you might think. If you already own the property, you can find this number on property tax bills, deeds, or title reports. However, for those who do not own the property or need a different approach, many local government websites provide online databases.
Here are the most common ways to find them: Check Google Maps. This one is the quickest and easiest way to establish where your property lines are. Hire a surveyor. Check online property records. Look for physical markers on your property. Check your property deed. Check a plat map. Review your property survey.
