Stark County Parcel Number Lookup and Format
How to find the parcel number for any Stark County property, what its digits mean, and how it differs from the routing number and taxing district.
A Stark County parcel number is all digits, 6 to 8 digits long, with no dashes or letters, for example 200008, 5200005 or 10000038. It’s printed on your tax bill, your deed and your closing papers. If you don’t have those, search your street address in the county’s free Real Estate Search, or click your lot on the parcel viewer, and the parcel number appears in the record. Older numbers start with a one- or two-digit area code; newer ones are 8 digits beginning with 100.
| Length | How it’s built | Example | Parcels |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 digits | 1-digit area code + 5-digit number | 200008 | about 62,800 |
| 7 digits | 2-digit area code + 5-digit number | 5200005 | about 121,400 |
| 8 digits | One countywide series starting at 10000001 | 10000038 | about 18,400 |

Find your parcel number by address

- Search by address. Enter the house number and street name, such as “1234 Main”. If nothing comes up, drop the direction (NW, SE) and the street type (Ave, St) and try again; every word you enter has to match.
- Pick the right result. If several streets match, check the city and ZIP code in the list.
- Copy the parcel number exactly as shown in the results or the record.
Our property search guide explains the rest of the record: owner, values, sales and taxes.
How to read a Stark County parcel number
For 6- and 7-digit numbers, the last five digits are the parcel’s number within an area, and the digits in front are the area code. The area code matches the first digits of the parcel’s routing number, the Tax Map Department’s map reference. Some examples we checked in the county’s data:
| Starts with | Area | Example |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (6 digits) | Alliance city | 105001 |
| 2 (6 digits) | Canton city | 200008 |
| 13 | Canton Township | 1300003 |
| 20 | Lake Township, North Canton City Schools area | 2000005 |
| 52 | Plain Township, Plain Local Schools area | 5200005 |
- Length
- 7 digits
- Area code (first two digits)
- 52
- Number within the area (last five)
- 00005
- Routing number starts with
- 52
The 8-digit numbers, starting at 10000001, don’t carry an area code. They run in one series across the whole county, from Canton to rural townships, and appear to be the numbers given to newer parcels. For those, the routing number or the record’s address tells you where the parcel is.
Don’t read too much into the area code. It reflects how the tax maps were drawn, not your taxing district. Your taxing district number, which decides your tax rate, is a separate three-digit code on your tax bill. See our tax rates table.
Parcel number, routing number, taxing district: what’s the difference?
| Number | Looks like | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| Parcel number | 5200005 | Identifying the property on tax bills, deeds, forms and in the Real Estate Search |
| Routing number | 52011SE050600 | The Tax Map Department’s map reference, with letters for the quarter section |
| Taxing district | 490 | Which set of tax rates applies |
When a form, the Board of Revision or a title company asks for your parcel number, give the all-digit parcel number, not the routing number.
When a parcel number changes
A parcel number stays with the land until the land itself changes. When a lot is split, or two parcels are combined into one, new parcel numbers are usually issued and the old ones retired. If an old number from a deed or a survey finds nothing in the Real Estate Search, that’s the usual reason. Search by address or owner instead, or call the Tax Map Department at (330) 451-7341 to trace the old number to the new one.
Common mistakes
- Adding dashes, spaces or leading zeros. Enter the digits exactly as printed.
- Using the routing number where a parcel number is asked for.
- Mixing up a neighbor’s lot. Houses on large or corner lots can span several parcels. Check the address and owner on the record.
- Using a pre-split number. After a split or combination, old numbers no longer return a record.
Frequently asked questions
What is the Stark County, Ohio parcel number format?
All digits, 6 to 8 long, with no dashes. Older 6- and 7-digit numbers are an area code plus a 5-digit number, such as 200008 or 5200005. Newer parcels have 8-digit numbers starting with 100, such as 10000038.
How do I find a parcel number by address?

Where is the parcel number on my tax bill or deed?
Both list it as an all-digit number of 6 to 8 digits. Your closing statement usually shows it too.
What is a routing number on a Stark County parcel?
The Tax Map Department's map reference, such as 52011SE050600. It includes letters and isn't the parcel number. Use the all-digit parcel number on forms.
Why doesn't my old parcel number work?
The parcel was probably split or combined, which usually creates new numbers. Search by address or owner, or call the Tax Map Department at (330) 451-7341.
