How To Find Your Property
Printer-friendly versionHow to Find Your Property
Within the Humboldt County General Plan update, proposed details specific to the unincorporated areas of the county are found in the Land Use Designations. These designations eventually lead to zoning classifications. The information is found on maps created by the County's Community Development Services (planning) Department. The Land Use Designations can vary among Alternatives A, B and C (see general discussion of these alternatives under "The Three Alternatives" tab). To find the proposed Land Use Designation for your property under each Alternative, you will need your assessor's parcel number (APN). To find out your APN number, contact your Realtor or find it on your property tax bill. You may also be able to search using your site address. Then you will need to look at the maps by going to:
http://gis.co.humboldt.ca.us/Freeance/Client/PublicAccess1/index.html?appconfig=gpu
- click on the Search tab (upper, far right, blue type)
- click on Find Parcel (blue type)
- enter your APN
- click on Run Search
- click on your parcel number (blue type, bottom left corner)
- click on each of the tabs (blue type) near the top of the page labeled Alternative A, B, C to see the different maps
To find out more about these maps, or if you have specific questions, contact county planner Martha Spencer. Her email is mspencer@co.humboldt.ca.us or call 268-3704. County Planning Department address is 3015 H Street, Eureka. Counter hours are 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, Monday - Friday.
If you have concerns or objections with what you find, you should write to the county Planning Commission, 3015 H Street, Eureka, 95501 and follow that up by speaking at one of their meetings (see "County Planning Commission Meetings" for when and where). You should speak up now, not later. It is also recommended you print copies of the maps for your records.
