Is my parcel in the city or county?

Please visit our Parcel Look-Up Tool to determine which jurisdiction your parcel is located in. At the bottom of the page, type in the property's Assessor's Parcel Number (APN). This will take you to the parcel in question and will load a text box that will give you information about the parcel, including the zoning. If the zoning lists a city or a town, the parcel is not in the county. City areas are referred to as "incorporated", while areas not under city jurisdiction are referred to as being located in the "unincorporated" area of Butte County. Butte County and each incorporated city maintain their own zoning ordinance, land use regulations, and general plan.
