Tracking down the Bradenton plat map
For a subdivision near Longboat Key, the deed or parcel record often names the subdivision and plat reference; bring that to the recorder's office or its online index.
The free map to start with

If you only know roughly where the land is, follow US Route 19 on the aerial until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want. Closer to Palmetto, the record panel typically gives the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and sometimes recent sales.
Land outside a subdivision

Where Bradenton fits in
Bradenton lies within Manatee County, Florida, so its parcels are on the county's map. As the county seat, Bradenton hosts the courthouse, handy when you need recorded documents. For property near Anna Maria, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Lots just outside the town limits near Palmetto often answers to county rules rather than the town's.
Backing up the map with records
