You've Got Mail (But You Need Your Parcel Number First!)
Living in San Diego County is pretty sweet – sunshine, beaches, maybe even a backyard that resembles a taco stand (because, priorities). But what if you're expecting a package that could be anything from the world's fluffiest cat bed to that lifesize cardboard cutout of Chris Pratt you (allegedly) didn't order? Uh oh, gotta track that down! This is where your parcel number swoops in like a superhero in a cape (probably made of that amazing San Diego Comic-Con swag).
Here's the thing: You need that parcel number, also known as an Assessor's Parcel Number (APN), to unlock the mysteries of your package's whereabouts. Don't worry, it's not some top-secret code guarded by grumpy librarians (although that would be a pretty cool story). Finding your APN is easier than finding decent parking at the beach on a Saturday.
Tip: Note one practical point from this post.

| How Do I Find My Parcel Number In San Diego County |
Mission: APN Impossible (Possible!)
There are a few ways to snag your APN, so pick your poison (don't worry, it's all painless):
QuickTip: Stop to think as you go.
Become a Web Detective: San Diego County has a nifty online tool where you can search by address. Just type in your street cred and – bam! – your APN appears like a digital magic trick [refer to San Diego County Parcel Lookup Tool for details].
Channel Your Inner Indiana Jones: Head over to the San Diego County Assessor's Office [refer to San Diego County Assessor's Office website]. They have public access computers where you can dig up all sorts of property info, including that elusive APN. Plus, maybe you'll stumble upon a hidden treasure trove of San Diego trivia (like the fact that Balboa Park is bigger than Central Park – mind blown!).
Befriend the Mail Carrier (Optional): While they might not have your APN memorized (unless you're their favorite cookie-giving customer), they can probably point you in the right direction. Just remember, kindness is always the best policy (and cookies don't hurt either).
Pro Tip: Once you have your APN, you can use it to find all sorts of cool stuff about your property, like its tax history (just in case you ever need to impress your friends with random San Diego real estate knowledge).
Tip: Skim once, study twice.
