Property records
Property pages are built from the Cuyahoga County GIS “Open Data Parcels” service (survey parcels with real property characteristics, published as one layer for Cleveland and one for all other communities), a public service of the county that joins parcel boundaries with data from the Fiscal Office. Your browser asks that service for the records when you search, so the information is as current as the county’s data.
What we show
- Address, parcel number and land use
- Market value fields from county data (land, building, total, exempt, abated)
- Building size, rooms, lot size and the last recorded transfer date and price
- Tax district code and the owner name on the deed
What we leave out on purpose
- Owner mailing addresses
- The buyer and seller names on transfers
- Any record an owner has asked us to remove, and any record the county marks as private
What we do not do
- We do not scrape MyPlace, the Recorder or the Clerk of Courts. Those sites restrict automated collection.
- We do not copy the county’s database. Each search is a small live request.
How to read the values
The value fields in the county data are market values for tax purposes, not sale prices. Ohio taxes 35% of market value, so we also show the 35% taxable value, which is the amount your tax rate is applied to. Neither figure is an appraisal.
Limits
- Data can lag the county’s own system, especially after a sale or a correction.
- A parcel that was split or merged recently may not match an older parcel number.
- The service can be down or slow; when it is, searches show an error and link to MyPlace.
For anything legal or financial, confirm with the official MyPlace record. Spotted an error? Report it to the county; see contact us if it is a problem with this site.
