GoMaps Frequently-Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Roads in Henderson County are maintained by either:
- NCDOT (NC Department of Transportation)
- Various municipalities (Hendersonville, Laurel Park, Mills River, and Fletcher)
- Private groups
To determine who maintains a road:
- On GoMaps, go to the area of interest.
- Click the drop-down menu on the toolbar and switch it to "Streets and Highways".
- Click on the road in question
- If the road has an "SR number", then it is maintained by NCDOT.
- If the "SR number" is 0, then:
- If it's NOT within a municipality, it is privately maintained.
- If it IS within a municipality, it MAY be maintained by that municipality.
- If it is in Hendersonville City Limits, go to the City's map of City-maintained roads to determine if it's maintained by the City.
Use the Quick Search window to look up a piece of property using an address, owner name, REID, or PIN.
- Address: use ONLY the street name, but not the street type. For example: "1 BEARCAT" instead of "1 Bearcat Blvd"; or "200 N GROVE" instead of "200 N Grove St".
- Owner Name: use LAST NAME, FIRST NAME. For example: "SMITH, JOHN" or "SMITH, J".
- REID: The Real Estate ID, which is a number of 6 - 9 digits. Examples: 9948805, 1013416
- PIN: The Property Identifcation Number, a 10-digit number corresponding to the property's geographic location. Examples: 9568971859, 9612258290
Make sure you have allowed pop-ups in your browser for the site. When you print a map from the 'Print' button at the top of the site, you may need to 'allow popups'. In some browsers, an 'information bar' comes up indicating that a pop-up has been blocked. In other browsers, a tiny icon in the right side of the address bar is what indicates that a pop-up has been blocked. Click on one of these prompts to allow pop-ups on the GoMaps site.
Leading zero's have been removed from REID's (Parcel Numbers). You'll need to remove them from your search. For example, instead of searching for 0123779, you would need to search for 123779. If this still doesn't work, the REID may have been retired, and you should try searching by owner name or street address instead.
