COMMUNITYVIEW™ SEARCH

CommunityView™ Help > Searching in CommunityView™

There are two primary ways to search for properties and locations in CommunityView™:

  1. Perform a conventional search using the Search Box
  2. Perform a visual search by zooming and panning the map to find your desired location

Search Box
Search by an Address
  • On the Toolbar, enter the street number and street name in the search box
Example: 123 Main St. (Note: there is no need to enter a city, state, or zip)
  • Click the search icon
  • The map will zoom to the address and outline the property in green
Search by APN
  • Enter the APN in the "Search box" on the toolbar
  • Make sure you use the format: apn: xxxxxxxx. Example: APN: 40016406
Search by a Street Intersection
  • Enter the APN in the "Search box" in the upper left of the map screen
  • Make sure you use the format: street name and street name
    • Example: (Street 1 and Street 2)

Find My Location
To zoom to the map area of your current location, click on the “Find My Location” icon on the Toolbar (your browser may prompt you to enable this functionality). CommunityView™ will zoom in and take you to the approximate area of your current location. The resulting zoom location will vary based on a number of factors including your device, GPS & others. Note, this feature is only available on HTML5 compatible browsers. CommunityView™ automatically detects whether your browser is capable of using this feature and will include it on the toolbar for all compatible browsers. For example, if you are using Internet Explorer 8, this feature will not be enabled because this browser is not built on the newest HTML 5 platform.

Map Search
Pan the map to navigate to your desired location and zoom in until you see the property boundary lines appear. Click on the location to view the address, APN, and additional layer details in the Information Balloon.
