What the Appomattox County GIS map shows about lot lines
Parcel boundaries on the Appomattox County viewer are drawn to keep tax accounts straight, so small offsets from the true line are expected. Virginia is a metes-and-bounds state. Rural deeds in Appomattox County describe boundaries with bearings, distances and landmarks rather than a square grid, so parcel lines are often irregular. A survey is the only document that settles where an Appomattox County boundary actually runs.
Two things the map won't tell you
Splits and sales near Concord can take weeks or months to show up on the parcel layer. Treat Appomattox County acreage figures as estimates until a survey confirms them.
