Planning a hunt near Moscow? The Clermont County hunting land is really two maps: state-managed land plus the county's parcel boundaries. This Clermont County guide covers: where public hunting land is mapped, using the parcel viewer for boundaries, and getting landowner permission the right way.
Building your Clermont County hunting land
In and around Marathon, public hunting areas are mapped by Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Wildlife, with rules that vary by area.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Go first to the Clermont County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps every assessed parcel around Batavia and Milford. Without an address in hand, pan along US Route 50 and click the parcel itself, and that holds around Chilo too. For acreage around Miamiville, save the parcel ID from that panel; each records desk in the county asks for it first.
Getting your bearings
Batavia serves as the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find Loveland, Milford, Bethel, and Chilo, each with its own cluster of lots. Around 211,972 people live in Clermont County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) spread over about 453 square miles. Clermont County dates to 1800, and some chains of title near Goshen are long.
Private land and parcel lines
The Clermont County ArcGIS parcel map shows private parcel lines, and each tract near Day Heights lists an owner.
Getting a yes
For a home near Chilo, offer details: who you are, when you'd hunt and how to reach you, and put any agreement in writing if the owner prefers.
Rules and responsibility
Seasons, licenses and trespass laws are set by the state, and know your state's trespass rules wherever you hunt near Goshen.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Clermont County touches Bracken County, KY, Campbell County, KY, Pendleton County, KY, Brown County, and Clinton County, all with their own assessor records. Ground near Amelia that runs to the line can show up across two assessors' files, so look at the adjacent map as well. Out toward Chilo, the Platbookmapper state page links each neighboring county map for Ohio.
Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, useful out on a road near Chilo, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Chilo helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Aerial scouting
Switch to aerial imagery near Loveland, travel corridors and edges stand out; match each spot to its parcel.
Getting answers from the right desk
For assessment questions about property around Milford belong with the County Auditor, since that office keeps the assessment data. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Felicity are for the local planning and health departments, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
A word on accuracy
Near Bethel, listed acreage is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor can set the real lines on the ground. In and around Marathon, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Being a good guest
Respect livestock and crops around Bethel, and tell someone where you'll be; owners remember good guests.
Backing up the map with records
For property near Chilo, the map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements for parcels in the county are filed with the County Recorder. Closer to Day Heights, use the book and page from the tax record so staff can find the deed fast.
How land is described here
Rural deeds near Batavia are often described by metes and bounds, a series of courses and distances from a starting point. Town lots near Goshen refer to a recorded plat, making them easier to find. Keep the legal description for land near Bethel before you request a deed or 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, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
