This page helps users handle a Property Search in Marion County, Florida by explaining where to search, which details to use, and how to follow up with the correct office.

The main public tool is the MCPA Property Search from the Marion County Property Appraiser, with search options for addresses, owner names, real parcels, tangible parcels, and related property data.

Use the Marion County Property Appraiser property information database to search public property records. The database supports several search methods, and search tips are shown after you choose a search type.

  • Address
  • Name
  • Parcel - Real
  • Parcel - Tangible
  • Property Class
  • Adverse Possession
  • Map ID OR Book and Page
  • Section/Township/Range
  • Subdivision Name or Subdivision ID
  • Map Index

Start with the detail you know best. Do not use punctuation marks in searches.

  • Go to the MCPA Property Search.
  • Select the “Search By” method that matches your information.
  • Enter the owner name, address, parcel number, property class, subdivision, or other supported search detail.
  • Review the matching property records and narrow the search if too many results appear.

Name search tip: the first term searches the owner last name, and additional terms search elsewhere within the name.

Owner name and parcel searches

For owner searches, enter the last name first. For example, a search for “Smith John” finds owners with a last name starting with Smith and the letters John elsewhere in the owner name.

For parcel searches, choose the parcel option that matches the record type. The database separates real property parcel searches from tangible property parcel searches.

Property class codes

Property class codes describe the major use of a property. Marion County provides class code information for both real estate and tangible property.

Use the property class code reference when a class code appears in a record or when you need to search by property class.

Map It+ online mapping

The Marion County Property Appraiser also provides Map It+, an online mapping system with parcel data, map filters, layers, drawing tools, printing, buffer tools, elevations, coordinates, basemaps, bookmarks, and a legend.

Map It+ parcel data is updated daily. The mapping system provides public assessment data, but it is not a substitute for a title search or land survey.

You can review parcel mapping through the Marion County Property Appraiser mapping system.
