Once inside you can search by different criteria including property address, and parcel ID.

Such data as photo images, property sales data, residential floor area, year built, land area, property tax data (billed and paid), property ownership, homestead data, and various residential amenity data (i.e. bathroom count, fireplaces, etc) is available for viewing. However, as the City Assessor’s Office is still working on the key encoding of some data, certain data is not yet available on the web site, such as commercial and industrial building data. It is planned that all data will be available on the web within one year.
Comments regarding specific property data may be e-mailed to assessor@a2gov.org.
The City of Ann Arbor hopes that access to this data via the City’s web site will greatly enhance the City's means of providing quality service to the customers of the City of Ann Arbor.
Although, property assessment and tax data is now available on the web, basic information on a single property can still be obtained over the telephone. In order to obtain more detailed information / data or information on multiple properties, one must visit either the City's web site or come into the Assessor's Office.
