Sidwell offers many parcel maps (property tax maps) in two formats and in various sizes, depending on the specific county.

Individual parcel line maps contain property and attribute line work and text only. Included in the information shows on a standard parcel map are: parcel identification numbers (PIN), parcel and lot dimensions, streets and street names, as well as various other data typically used in property location and identification.

Composite map prints bring together parcel line maps and corresponding aerial photography to offer a visual representation of a specific area of interest. For instance, users can view property and building characteristics, building locations, and proximity to other buildings or ground features with the property dimensions and other text information displayed as well.

Sidwell’s tax map atlases feature parcel maps in a convenient, easy-to-use, half-size format, bound in loose-leaf fashion inside durable hard covers. These half-size maps are size-reduced versions of the full-size maps created by Sidwell and contain all the same information. This information includes property identification numbers, property boundaries, parcel and lot dimensions, streets and street names, as well as various other data typically used in property location and identification.

Sidwell tax map atlases are currently available for counties in Illinois, Iowa, Indiana, Michigan, and Minnesota.
