How to Remove My House From Google Maps

Your house doesn't need to appear on Google Maps.

Google Maps is a feature provided by Google that allows you to find locations on a virtual map. When you search for a specific address you can use the Street View feature to view an aerial picture of the specific location and surrounding area. If you find your house on the Google Maps Street View, there is a simple process to remove it so it will no longer be visible to the public.

Instructions

1. Go to the Google Maps website (See Resources). Enter your street or address into the top search field.

2. Click on the "Search Maps" button. The area where your house is located will appear on the map.

3. Click the plus sign on the vertical bar located on the left hand side of the map. This will help you enter Street View.

4. Locate your house on the map and then click on the red marker for your house. Click on the "Street View" option.

5. Click on the "Report a problem" option from the bottom of the Street View image. Click "Privacy Concerns," then click "My House."

6. Click on the radio button next to "I have found a picture of my house and would like to remove it."

7. Enter your email address into the "Email address" field. Click on the "Submit" button. You will receive an email when a Google representative has removed your house from Google Maps.
