Getting started with the Blanchester plat map

The viewer Warren County publishes
Begin with the Ohio Statewide Parcels layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer; it covers every assessed parcel from Harveysburg to South Lebanon. For a home near Harveysburg, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it.

Where Blanchester fits in
Blanchester is part of Warren County, Ohio, so its parcels are on the county's map.
