Land Records Help Page

Help Screen / Glossary of Terms

The Johnson County Land Records System will allow access to basic real estate data to the public. It allows individuals to create specific ad-hoc queries. The system provides the information on each of the properties that fit the query.

The system works off the Property Search screen. After entering search criteria, the system displays a Search Result Index. The index shows all properties that match the criteria. Selecting a parcel will display a Property Summary screen. The Property Summary screen shows general information. If the result of the query contains only one result, the system will proceed to the Property Summary page. 

Property Search
The property search screen is the initial screen in Land Records. It allows the customer to build queries to meet specific needs. The customer is allowed to enter data in multiple fields and/or make multiple selections from selection boxes. Fields may also be left empty. After all selection criteria is made, click on the appropriate "Search" button (i.e. if you are performing a address search, then click on the "address search" button). The data will be queried based on the criteria and the Property Search Result Index will display the properties found. Only properties that match each and every search criteria are displayed.

Address Field
The Address Field allows the user to enter a valid address, or partial address. The search result will show available addresses found with the matching address. If 111 S. Loula is entered in the appropriate fields, the result will be one address and will proceed to the summary page.

If 111 is entered in the address number, the result will be a list of properties that have 111 in their address. This includes 111 S. Loula, as well as, all addresses with 111 on other streets.

When searching by property, an address number or address street name is required. The other address selections are optional.
