Hi PennyP1946,

Like Gerald said, you can find the legal description of your property in your deed of trust (usually second or third page).  It should also be on file at the county courthouse or tax assessor's office. 

Hope this helps!

Hi PennyP1946,

Do you have a copy of you deed of trust?  If so that will be the legal description of your home.

You probably can find it by opening your property details page, under the facts click on "more facts" and then scroll down to the legal description.
