ommissioner of State Lands (COSL) John Turston re- cently introduced an exciting new feature to the COSL website — parcel level mapping. Tis feature will assist individuals who are interested in researching tax delin-
with information such as owner name and address, legal description of the property, value and taxes and deed transfer information. If there is an image available of the property, it will be at the bottom of the page. In the top left corner of this page is the “Map
Tis Parcel” link, you must first read and accept another disclaimer before seeing the map view of the parcel. Once on this page, the parcel in ques- tion is highlighted orange.

Alternately from clicking on an individual parcel number, a visitor may choose to “Map Tis County.” Tis choice shows the entire county with location pins noting where a delinquent parcel is located. From this location a browser can zoom in which is especially useful if there are mul- tiple pins in close vicinity. Once one clicks on a pin, the same data comes
