The free map to start with
Go first to the Vermillion County WTH GIS map; it maps every assessed parcel in the county, Dana included. When a rural tract has no street number, pan along US Route 136 and select the outline. For land near Perrysville, a pop-up or side panel normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
Clinton, IN: the basics
Clinton sits in Vermillion County, Indiana, which means parcel data comes from the county. Around Fairview Park, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Lots just outside the city limits near Dana often falls under county rules, not municipal ones.
Legal descriptions in Indiana

Keep the legal description for land near Universal for any title or survey request.
Taxes on the record

Recorded documents worth pulling

Reading the owner field

Taking the map into the field
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Perrysville, so load it before you lose signal. A printout of the tract near Dana keeps working without signal.
Which office to call
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Dana are handled by the County Assessor, the office behind the parcel record. Questions about what you can build around Universal need the planning or permitting office, town or county, depending on location.
Land on the county line
Vermillion County borders Edgar County, IL, Vermilion County, IL, Fountain County, Parke County, and Vigo County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Universal can show up across two assessors' files, so look at the adjacent map as well. For a parcel near Cayuga, our state page links every bordering county map across Indiana.
Before you lean on the lines
Parcel lines are drawn for taxes, not surveyed, so the edge of a yard near Universal often sits several feet off the line on screen. For a tract near Perrysville, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
