How to find property lines in Butler County
A lot line on the Butler County plat map near Monroe is a drawing based on deeds, not a measurement taken on site. Ohio uses a mix of survey systems depending on the region, so read the legal description for any Butler County tract carefully. If a neighbor's fence near Hamilton and the map disagree, neither one is proof. A survey is.
Where Butler County deeds and plats are kept
The county auditor handles assessments, while recorded deeds and plats for Butler County are kept by the county's land records office. In Ohio the county auditor, not an assessor, appraises real estate, so Butler County values come from the auditor's office on a six-year reappraisal cycle with an update in year three. Easements and rights-of-way are usually in recorded documents, not on the parcel map, so read the deed itself for a tract near Four Bridges.
