This page helps users handle a Property Search in Tulare County, California, by showing where to look up parcel, assessment, and mapping information through official county resources.

The Tulare County Assessor's Office supports property records through the MBAP property search, Assessor's Parcel Lookup, Assessor's maps, and related GIS tools.

Use the county's MBAP search when you need to look for property assessment or parcel-related information. The tool supports searches by assessment number, fee parcel number, or street address.

  • Assessment number, for a specific assessment
  • Fee parcel number, for a summary of current or delinquent fiscal year assessments
  • Street address, when the parcel or assessment number is not available

If you are using an address, simplify the entry when needed. The search guidance notes that abbreviations on deeds may affect results.

  • Open the search Tulare County property records in MBAP page.
  • Choose the search method that matches the information you have.
  • Enter at least two characters, unless the tool requires a longer exact value for your search.
  • Review the matching property or assessment results and confirm the parcel details before relying on them.

For street address searches, try omitting words such as Street, Road, Drive, or Lane, and use a single-letter direction such as W instead of West.

Assessor's Parcel Lookup map

The Assessor's Parcel Lookup is the map-based option for reviewing parcel location information. It includes an address search and displays map coordinates as the cursor moves over the map.

Open the view parcels in Assessor's Parcel Lookup tool when you want a visual parcel search alongside the county's GIS map interface.

Map data disclaimer: the Tulare County Assessor's Office does not warrant the accuracy, timeliness, or completeness of the data, and users should not rely on the map as the only basis for a decision.

Assessor maps and GIS property layers

Tulare County also provides Assessor map and GIS resources for users who need parcel maps or broader property-related map layers.

  • Use Assessor's maps for local property assessment map review.
  • Use Tulare County Public GIS Data to view public parcel data without ownership or assessed values.
  • Use the Public Parcel Zoning Lookup for zoning, lot size, and the most recent appraised value when that information is needed.

Assessor maps are prepared for local property assessment purposes only. The parcels shown on those maps may not comply with state and local subdivision ordinances.

Zoning and parcel questions

For zoning-related property research, Tulare County directs users to the Public Parcel Search. That search can be used by parcel number to review land information such as lot size, zoning designation, and the most recent appraised value.

If the zoning parcel search does not answer the question, the county directs users to the Permit Center for zoning information.

Property assessment concerns

If you disagree with an assessed value, contact the Assessor's Office first. A representative can explain the basis for the assessment and review information you provide about the value.

That review is not a formal appeal. A formal Assessment Appeal Application is filed with the Clerk of the Board when a taxpayer challenges the Assessor's assessed value and requests a hearing before the Assessment Appeals Board.

Assessment appeal item Detail
Regular assessment filing period July 2 through November 30
Supplemental or escape assessment filing period Within 60 days of the notice date or postmark date, whichever is later
Filing fee $30.00 non-refundable filing fee for each Assessment Appeal Application
