Butte County provides access to planning, property assessment, GIS mapping, and land records through its main county website.
Planning handles land use questions, while property details and parcel information are routed through the Equalization office.
The county GIS map provides a direct way to view parcel boundaries and locations, and recorded documents should be accessed through the Register of Deeds.
As with most counties, confirming details directly with the appropriate office is the most reliable way to avoid incorrect assumptions.
