The problem with looking up these parcels by the tax map key numbers is that often they will only say, for example, “25th Avenue” with no actual street address since they’re undeveloped. I figured out a tricky way to see where these parcels are located that works fairly well.
Using the 25th Av example, I typed in the tax map key # 151021260. There was no actual address listed for that property, but I could see from the map that parcel #151021259 was next door. So I searched on that tax map key number. That property had an actual address, so I could then locate the area in google earth to get a good look without actually driving there (I live on the mainland so that was out of the question).
It doesn’t always work well because sometimes there are no actual addresses for the properties nearby. But it works OK.
Wish I could be there to bid, but can’t. Good luck to those who get a good deal!
