Remove an owner name

When an AreaMap user taps a lot, the app can show the owner name from the county’s public property records, along with the parcel number, address and acreage. If you don’t want a name shown on a property, tell us which property below and we’ll stop showing it in AreaMap.

Property address Parcel number (optional, helps us find the exact lot) Name on the record (optional: we’ll also hide this name on any other lot in the same county) Reason (optional) Prefer not to say I own it and want privacy Safety (for example domestic violence or stalking) Judge, law enforcement, prosecutor or other protected official I’m asking for someone else Other Your email (only to confirm and to reach you if we can’t find the lot) Website

Remove the name

What happens next

• Matched automatically: the name stops showing in AreaMap immediately. Phones that viewed the lot in the last hour may keep it for up to an hour.
• Not matched: a person finds the lot and removes the name within 1 business day, then emails you.
• It stays removed. When we refresh county data, removed names stay hidden.

Good to know

• AreaMap shows only the owner name. We never show phone numbers, email addresses or owners’ mailing addresses, and there is no search by owner name.
• This removes the name from AreaMap only. The county’s own records don’t change. Many states let certain people, such as judges, police officers and survivors of domestic violence, ask the county assessor to keep their name confidential. Once the county does, we drop the name on our next refresh as well.
• Property lines, parcel numbers and acreage stay visible, because they describe the land, not a person.
