Local places and boundaries
These distinctions can point you toward the right property or tax record. A place name is not a substitute for checking the address or APN when a question depends on the exact parcel.
Incorporated city · Santa Barbara County
The Census Bureau’s 2026 boundary data places the incorporated city in Santa Barbara County. The city boundary meets San Luis Obispo County, but the city area does not extend into that county.
For a seller: That is city-level orientation, not a parcel determination. Use the property address or APN to confirm which county record applies.
Nearby Census-designated place · Santa Barbara County
Orcutt is a separate Census-designated place adjoining Santa Maria on the south. Santa Barbara County also maintains an Orcutt Community Plan.
For a seller: Orcutt is not a Santa Maria city neighborhood. If someone describes a house as being in Orcutt, use its address to route a permit or property-record question.

Separate incorporated city · Santa Barbara County
Guadalupe is a distinct city west of Santa Maria, not a Santa Maria neighborhood.
For a seller: For a house described as being in Guadalupe, use the address to identify the city and county offices for its records.
Nearby Census-designated place · San Luis Obispo County
Nipomo is a Census-designated place north of Santa Maria in San Luis Obispo County. It is outside Santa Maria city and Santa Barbara County.
For a seller: The county matters when you look up taxes, deeds, or court records. Confirm the property’s county from its address or APN before contacting an office.
County offices by question
Santa Maria city is in Santa Barbara County, and nearby Nipomo is in San Luis Obispo County. County offices handle different records and questions; check the property’s county before using a county page.
The Court identifies its Cook Division in Santa Maria as the North County probate location. For a specific case, use the case details and the Court’s current instructions; the house location alone does not decide venue or who may sign.
The Clerk-Recorder publishes separate information for recording documents and documentary transfer tax. Have the property address or APN ready when asking about a record.
Start here for County property-information and assessment-record questions. Assessment information is a separate lookup from the Clerk-Recorder’s document-recording information.
Use the property-tax page for account questions. If you have a delinquent-tax or defaulted-tax-sale notice, check the current County account and notice for the status and any stated deadline.
