A Cheraw property search: start here
Use the Chesterfield County WTH GIS map for a Cheraw property search; addresses, names and parcel numbers all work.
Pulling up a parcel
Begin with the Chesterfield County WTH GIS map; it covers each tax parcel in the county, Jefferson included. If the land is near Ruby, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. If you're looking near Mount Croghan, the parcel card usually lists the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and in many cases the last transfer.
City limits and county records
Cheraw sits in Chesterfield County, South Carolina, which means parcel data comes from the county. With a lot near Mount Croghan, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the town limits near McBee usually falls under county rules, not municipal ones.
On site with the map
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near McBee, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Patrick with its ID keeps working without signal.
Taxes on the record
Many records show assessed value and taxes for land near Ruby; questions about value go to the County Assessor.
Getting your bearings
Chesterfield serves as the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. Smaller places on the map include Patrick, Ruby, and Mount Croghan, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Roughly 44,031 people call Chesterfield County home (Census estimate, 2023) across about 799 square miles. Chesterfield County dates to 1785, so old deeds can run back a long way. Landmarks such as Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge make handy reference points on the map near McBee.
What the owner name means
In and around Patrick, the record lists the owner of record, sometimes a trust or LLC. An estate listed as owner near Mount Croghan usually means title hasn't passed yet after a death, so the personal representative is the contact.
Before you lean on the lines
Tax maps are drawn for assessment, not surveyed, so a tree line near Jefferson may sit some distance off the line on screen. For land near Ruby, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Deeds behind the record
Use the book and page or instrument number from the record near McBee to find the deed quickly; a title search is wise before any purchase.
Looking around the parcel
Click the parcels around the one near McBee for context on nearby owners and uses; it helps with access and boundary questions.

Sections, lots and bearings
Rural deeds near Ruby commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, listing bearings, distances and landmarks. Town lots near McBee refer to a recorded plat, making them easier to find. Write down the legal description for the tract near Patrick when you talk to a surveyor.
Contacting an owner politely
A short letter to the mailing address on the record gets more replies than a cold call for property around Mount Croghan.
Offices that can help
Recorded documents for a parcel near McBee come from the Register of Deeds (in some counties the Clerk of Court), sometimes only in person. Building or septic questions for a lot near Ruby need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Recorded documents worth pulling
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements for land near Patrick are filed with the Register of Deeds (in some counties the Clerk of Court). Near Mount Croghan, have ready the instrument number shown in the record panel and the lookup takes minutes.
