Minutes are used when you are logged in and actively searching in a county. Counties that have premier public search will not incur usage charges. There is logic to determine what search you are using, if it is sponsored or not, and in some cases, you may be logged out or not charged depending on if the data would be the same sponsored or logged in.
The first minute of usage is always logged and from then on as you view parcels and search the website, we log your usage on each page load. If you go inactive at any time for more than five minutes the site will log you out and log only the time from the last detected activity.
If you come back before five minutes and aren’t logged out, but then view a parcel you will be treated as having been active the whole time and those minutes will be consumed. If you do not want this to occur, please log out before going inactive, or log out before using the site after any period of inactivity to ensure you are not accidentally charged.
