For any property near Beaver, a quick Boone County land owner map lists the owner of record, a mailing address and a parcel number. This Boone County guide covers: where to search, what trusts, estates and LLCs mean, and how to confirm with the deed.
A Boone County land owner map: start here
The Boone County Beacon site is the free tool for this; addresses, names and parcel numbers all work.
The viewer Boone County publishes
Parcels around Boxholm appear on the Boone County Beacon site, free to use and open without a login. For acreage around Madrid, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. If the land is near Boxholm, write down the parcel ID from that panel; every clerk in the county asks for it first.
Reading the owner field
If the land is near Fraser, the record lists the owner of record, which may be a person, a trust, a company or an estate. "Estate of" on a record near Berkley usually means title hasn't passed yet after a death, and the executor handles questions.
Neighboring parcel maps
Boone County meets Dallas County, Greene County, Hamilton County, Polk County, and Story County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Luther may show up across two assessors' files, so open the neighboring map as well. If the land is near Fraser, the Platbookmapper state page lists every bordering county map for Iowa.
Values and taxes
The record for a parcel near Beaver often lists value and tax amounts; questions about value go to the County Assessor.
Looking around the parcel
Look at adjoining lots near Boxholm for context on nearby owners and uses; that's handy for easements and access.
Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Coal Valley, though signal can drop in rural spots. A printout of the tract near Angus is a good backup.
Sections, lots and bearings
Iowa follows the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Luther is described by section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though real sections near Coal Valley vary in size. Keep the legal description for land near Boxholm before you request a deed or survey.
Getting your bearings
Boone serves as the county seat, where most land records are kept. You'll also find Beaver, Berkley, Boxholm, and Fraser, each with its own cluster of lots. About 26,590 people live in Boone County (Census estimate, 2023) on about 570 square miles. The county was organized in 1846, which matters when you trace an old farm's title, at least around Angus.
Proof of ownership
Near Beaver, the parcel record is not proof of title; for that, pull the deed from the County Recorder.
Writing to an owner
A short letter to the mailing address on the record is the usual way to reach an owner for land near Logansport.
The paper trail behind a parcel
When the details count, pull the recorded deed through the County Recorder; the parcel line is a drawing of it, which applies near Centerville as much as anywhere. Long-held tracts near Angus can go back through a long string of deeds, and a title company earns its fee on a real sale.
Limits of the parcel data
For a parcel near Coal Valley, listed acreage is an assessed number; only a licensed surveyor can set the real corners on the ground. For land near Boxholm, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Getting answers from the right desk
Deeds, mortgages and recorded plats for land near Boxholm sit in the index kept by the County Recorder, often with an online index. Questions about what you can build around Fraser go to planning, building or health offices, town or county, depending on location.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
