Can someone give me a website that shows local areas, and who owns them? Something along the lines of a Plat book. This would be most appreciated!!! sorry about the title, it got messed up!

What local areas? I have looked them up around here, but most of that information is county by county. Chances are the information for my county would do you no good.

This question is best addressed at the local level, so I am moving your topic to the Midwest Forum. You may also want to inquire in your local geocaching organization's forum.

Here is a site to find the parcel tax i.d. numbers for your area. Link

Couldn't find where to go to get the owner name from the i.d. number though. Here where I live its pretty easy.

I'm not sure I know what you mean. Nobody own's local areas.

Sorry, I guess I wasn't very clear in what I am looking for. I would like to know if there is a website with maps of local area, and if the maps would show property boundaries. Lets say I live in Decatur Illinois, I would like to get a map that shows fairly detailed stuff, like areal shots of the area that show houses and such. Does this make sense?

Google earth might be your best bet for aerial shots showing houses.

 

For property lines, Your best bet is to go to the internet website for the county you are interested in for GIS plat maps. My county has an interactive map that allows you to click on city lots (or any parcel) to get the owner and tax info, which is public data. :blink: Does this make sense?

 

Just google the county you're interested in, e.g. "Wabash County, Indiana"

You'll want a Plat map for legal boundaries. We get one free every year. Try Farm and Home Publishers.

As to specific property boundaries and owners, the tax office or county surveyors office might be of help. I doubt that you would be able to get maps of individual yards and plats without incurring cost.

I'm lucky, with my job the company buys new plat books every couple of years so I have free access to several local counties at work. It helps when our delivery instructions sometimes just read :At his house:

and I doin't know where His house is. :blink:
