Citizen Access Portal property search

Parcel Viewer for map-based review
The open the Shelby County Parcel Viewer option supports parcel-based review when a map view helps confirm a location or property area.
Use this tool alongside the property search when you need to connect a parcel record with its location. If the viewer does not load, check your browser connection and try the Citizen Access Portal search as the next practical route.

- Review assessment information for property-related assessment tasks.
- Find property forms when the next step requires a submitted form.
- Use the portal contact page when you need staff assistance with the property portal.
Probate record search and eRecording
Shelby County also provides a Probate Judge records platform with search records and eRecording options. This is separate from the property search portal, but it may be useful when the property question involves recorded documents rather than parcel data.
