Places of Interest
SearchWhen searching for addresses, don't include street directionals as well as street suffixes. For example,
404 W. Elm St. would be "404 Elm".
If a property is on the 4400 block of Main St., simply type "44 Main". All addresses with
44 Main will appear in the search results (4401, 4402, 4403, etc.)

"What kind of information can I not get access to?...
FOIA defines "private information” as "unique identifiers, including a
person's social security number, driver's license number, employee identification number, biometric identifiers, personal financial information, passwords or other
access codes, medical records, home or personal telephone numbers, and personal e-mail addresses." Under FOIA, "
private information also includes home
addresses and personal license plate numbers,
except as otherwise provided by law or when compiled without possibility of attribution to any person."
Searches may only be performed on addresses and parcel numbers (pin), and only
addresses and parcel numbers will be displayed in the search results.
