If a legal description for land in Cedarville cites a lot number, you'll need the Cedarville plat map to make sense of it. What this Cedarville guide covers: where plats are filed, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and what to look for on the sheet.
Tracking down the Cedarville plat map
For a lot in Cedarville, the deed usually cites the plat; that makes the request quick.
Where the parcel data lives
Begin with the Greene County parcel viewer; it covers each assessed parcel in the county, Yellow Springs included. In and around Xenia, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. For acreage around Beavercreek, the record panel usually lists the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
When a plat changes
An amended plat may change lots around Xenia, so check for later filings; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
City limits and county records
Cedarville is part of Greene County, Ohio, so its parcels are on the county's map. With a lot near Jamestown, city or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Acreage past the city limits near Jamestown generally falls under county rules rather than the town's.
Plat map vs. parcel map
The Greene County parcel viewer draws parcels for taxes, while the recorded plat is the legal document.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
With a lot near Fairborn, Greene County borders Clark County, Clinton County, Fayette County, Madison County, and Montgomery County, all with their own assessor records. Acreage along the edge near Yellow Springs may be split across two assessors' files, so check the neighboring map before you assume the acreage. On ground around Bowersville, our state page lists each neighboring county map across Ohio.
What a plat shows
For a home near Yellow Springs, the sheet usually includes lot and block numbers, dimensions and bearings, street rights-of-way and easements.
Places you'll see on the map
Xenia is the county seat, home to the main records offices. You'll also find Yellow Springs, Jamestown, and Fairborn, each with its own cluster of lots. Roughly 169,691 people call Greene County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) spread over roughly 414 square miles. For acreage around Yellow Springs, Greene County was organized in 1803, so old deeds can run back a long way.
Getting a copy
Closer to Fairborn, some counties put plat images online, otherwise call or visit with the reference; small fees are common.
Where the recorded documents are
For anything that matters, get the recorded deed through the County Recorder; the parcel map near Yellow Springs only summarizes it. Near Yellow Springs, use the book and page from the tax record so staff can find the deed fast.
How land is described here
Rural deeds near Beavercreek are often described by metes and bounds, which trace the boundary call by call. Subdivision lots in Xenia usually use lot and block from a recorded plat instead, which is simpler to follow. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Xenia when you talk to a surveyor.
Getting answers from the right desk
Deeds, mortgages and recorded plats for land near Xenia sit in the index kept by the County Recorder, usually searchable by name or document number. Building or septic questions for a lot near Xenia are for the local planning and health departments, town or county, depending on location.
Limits of the parcel data
Listed acreage is an estimate; just a licensed surveyor sets the real boundary on land around Bowersville. For a tract near Jamestown, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
On site with the map
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Bowersville, so load it before you lose signal. A printout of the tract near Jamestown keeps working without signal.
Land outside a subdivision
Rural land near Fairborn that was never subdivided is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; look for a recorded survey for land there.
