Start with the parcel, then fill in the history

When family records are incomplete, the parcel and full address help distinguish the property from others with similar owner names. Columbia County’s permit search accepts parcel, owner, address and other search information. Confirm the responsible authority for the property before interpreting missing results. Ask an authorized contact for current photos rather than relying on the condition remembered from an earlier visit.
