How to Request a Landowner Search for Known Information within Ownership Boundaries

1. Provide a cover letter with the following information:
   • An authorization by the landowner for the NWIC to copy record(s) and/or report(s) for the property. If these documents are to be sent to an agent of the landowner, then their name and address must be supplied in this letter.
   • Provide legal location information, i.e., street address, APN, etc.
   • Proof of ownership, i.e., most recent tax bill or deed.
2. Provide a copy of the relevant portion(s) of the USGS 7.5’ topographic quad at original scale, with property boundary clearly marked (if emailing request, this map must be a PDF file.)
3. Mail or email all of the above to the NWIC.
