City of Providence Plat Maps
Providence plat maps are the recorded subdivision drawings and the parcel layer for Providence, Rhode Island. Start from the county GIS directory, not a paid copy.

City of Providence plat maps are the recorded plats for lots inside Providence, Rhode Island, plus the parcel map the city sits on. A plat is the drawing filed when land was divided. The parcel viewer is the current tax map. You often need both, and neither one is a survey of the corners.
Providence is in Providence County. Rhode Island towns and cities keep a lot of the land-record work, so the recorded plat may be a city record while the on-screen lot lines are on a GIS viewer listed under the county.
How to open them
- Start at the Platbookmapper home page if you are not sure of the county.
- Open the Rhode Island directory and choose Providence County.
- Follow the official GIS link and search the site address or the parcel number on the tax bill.
- For the filed plat itself, use the plat book or recorded-document search on that same local site once you have the subdivision name and lot number.
Platbookmapper only links out to those local parcel and lot-line maps. It does not host Providence plats, and the line on the viewer is not a survey.
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.
