Open the IntegrityGIS - Lawrence County to start; addresses, names and parcel numbers all work.
The viewer Lawrence County publishes
Your first stop is the IntegrityGIS - Lawrence County; it maps each tax parcel around Stotts City and Hoberg. For property near Hoberg, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. For land near Verona, the record panel normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and sometimes recent sales.
Aurora and the county around it
Aurora sits in Lawrence County, Missouri, so its parcels are on the county's map. For a parcel near Hoberg, City or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the city limits near Freistatt usually falls under county rules rather than the town's.
Places you'll see on the map
Mount Vernon serves as the county seat, home to the main records offices. Smaller places on the map include Verona, Marionville, Hoberg, and Freistatt, where town lots give way to larger tracts.

Looking around the parcel
Look at adjoining lots near Verona for context on nearby owners and uses; it helps with access and boundary questions.
The paper trail behind a parcel
For anything that matters, request the recorded deed through the Recorder of Deeds; the parcel map near Freistatt only summarizes it. Long-held tracts around Stotts City can trace back through many deeds, and a title company can sort it out if money is changing hands.
Limits of the parcel data
Listed acreage is an estimate; only a licensed surveyor can set the real corners for a parcel near Verona. Out toward Stotts City, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Trusts, estates and LLCs
For a parcel near Hoberg, the record lists the owner of record, sometimes a trust or LLC. An estate listed as owner near Verona usually means title hasn't passed yet after a death, and the executor handles questions.
When you need more than the map
Use the book and page or instrument number from the record near Verona so the lookup is fast; hire a title company before money changes hands.
Contacting an owner politely
A short letter to the mailing address on the record is the usual way to reach an owner for property around Stotts City.

Write down the legal description for the tract near Stotts City for any title or survey request.
Getting answers from the right desk
