Oakland County’s Property Gateway is a free and fee-based web resource that allows users to obtain public information about parcels of land via a map-based web application. Property Gateway helps people looking for details about residential, commercial or industrial lots to interact with a map to obtain property characteristics, current and historical tax information, and sales transactions. It combines records from the County, cities, villages and townships with Geographic Information System (GIS) software. Products and reports currently offered through the Property Gateway include Commercial & Industrial Profile, Current Tax Profile, Delinquent Tax Statements, Map Atlas, Mortgage Application Acceleration Program, and Residential Property Profile. Among the innovations of Property Gateway is that users are able to access basic property characteristics for free in a thumbnail format to ensure they’ve selected the correct parcel before purchasing a detailed report. Property information is available to individuals on a per transaction basis; qualified businesses may set up a subscription account.
