About Owner Finder

Owner Finder lets you search North Carolina property parcel data sourced from NC OneMap. Search by owner name, property address, or mailing address, and filter by county, parcel value, and year built.

Data Source

Parcel data is sourced from the NC OneMap Parcels ArcGIS REST API, Layer 1 (Parcels - Polygons). This is the statewide parcel dataset maintained by the NC Center for Geographic Information & Analysis (CGIA).

Coverage

All 100 North Carolina counties plus the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, totaling approximately 5.9 million parcels.

Update Frequency

Parcel data is automatically synced twice per month β€” on the 1st and 15th at 3:00 AM UTC β€” via a cron job that runs sync_parcels.py --update. The sync queries the NC OneMap API county by county and supports incremental updates, resuming from where it left off. NC OneMap updates their dataset periodically; the sync checks for newer source files and only re-downloads counties that have changed.

Data Fields

Each parcel record includes: owner name, mailing address, site address, parcel value, improved value, land value, GIS acres, structure indicator, year built, parcel use code/description, county name, and last sale date.
