Checking easements on a house in Aurora? Start with the Aurora plat map, as it records the lot layout that deeds refer to. In this Aurora guide: where to request a copy, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and the details that matter to buyers.
Tracking down the Aurora plat map
For a subdivision near Freistatt, look for the plat book reference on the parcel record; that makes the request quick.
Pulling up a parcel
Go first to the IntegrityGIS - Lawrence County; it covers each tax parcel from Freistatt to Stotts City. For a home near Hoberg, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For a tract near Mount Vernon, the parcel card typically gives the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and sometimes recent sales.
Getting answers from the right desk
For assessment questions about property around Mount Vernon are handled by the County Assessor, since that office keeps the assessment data. Building or septic questions for a lot near Hoberg need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
What the map can't tell you
Listed acreage is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real corners for a parcel near Stotts City. For land near Stotts City, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Aurora, MO: the basics
Aurora is part of Lawrence County, Missouri, so its parcels are on the county's map.

Recorded plat or GIS layer

Metes and bounds instead
Acreage around Hoberg outside a subdivision may have no plat at all; look for a recorded survey for land near Mount Vernon.

The paper trail behind a parcel

Amended plats
