  • Coastal Commission Appeals Area
  • Fire Hazard Zones
  • Land Use Designations
  • Parks
  • Property Lines
  • Property Parcel Information
  • Planned Residential Developments (PRD)

  • Trails
  • Topographic Contours
  • Water/Sewer District Service Areas
  • Wedding Sites
  • Zoning and Zoning Classification

Community View Map Viewing Tips

  1. Click "View" to select one of the GIS layer maps noted above and to change the map view.
  2. To identify a specific property without an address or APN - simply zoom(upper left)to a scale where parcel lines are visible, place your cursor inside the parcel boundary and click the left mouse button for information about the property.
  3. To search by property address, enter the property address (including numbers) in the Search box. You can also enter the street name to go to a general location. There is no need to enter the City, State or Zip Code. Then click on your property of interest for detailed information.
  4. To search by APN, enter APN: XXXXXXXXX in the Search box. Example: apn:123456789.
  5. You can shift view North, South, East or West on the screen simply by depressing your mouse and moving it across the screen.
  6. You can focus closer in or further out by clicking on + or - in the upper left corner.
  7. The information "bubble" displays a property address and APN, as well as links to property photos (birds eye view and Bing Maps), property details, property summary, Zoning Classifications, and driving directions. When a layer is selected from the view drop-down menu, the information "bubble" will also display layer-specific information for some of the layers.
