Buying a lot in a subdivision near Frannie? What you want is the Cody plat map, since it shows lots, streets and easements as approved. In this Cody guide: where to request a copy, plat versus tax map, and what to look for on the sheet.
The Cody plat map: start here
For a lot in Cody, look for the plat book reference on the parcel record; that makes the request quick.
The viewer Park County publishes
Go first to the Park County parcel viewer; it covers each assessed parcel from Powell to Meeteetse. Without an address in hand, zoom in from Frannie and select the outline. Near Meeteetse, the record panel normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and often a sale date.
City limits and county records
Cody lies within Park County, Wyoming, and the county assessor maps its lots. Cody is also the county seat, which puts the County Clerk close by. For a parcel near Powell, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, while the county keeps the tax map. Lots just outside the city limits near Meeteetse often falls under county rules, not municipal ones.
Land outside a subdivision
Rural land near Frannie that was never subdivided is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.
When a plat changes
Lots near Meeteetse can be combined or reconfigured by a replat, so check for later filings; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
How land is described here
Wyoming is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Powell cite section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though sections near Frannie can be irregular. Keep the legal description for land near Frannie for any title or survey request.
Offices that can help
For assessment questions about property around Frannie are handled by the County Assessor, which maintains the tax roll. Questions about what you can build around Frannie are for the local planning and health departments, town or county, depending on location.
Taking the map into the field
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Powell, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A saved image of the lot near Powell and its lines helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Recorded plat or GIS layer
The Park County parcel viewer draws parcels for taxes, but the recorded plat is what the deed relies on.
Backing up the map with records
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements for land near Meeteetse are kept by the County Clerk. Older tracts around Frannie may go back through several deeds, so a title company earns its fee before a purchase.
Details on the Cody plat map
Utility or drainage strips on a lot in Cody can block a shed or pool; read the notes on the sheet.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Park County borders Carbon County, MT, Gallatin County, MT, Park County, MT, Big Horn County, and Fremont County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. A tract near the line by Meeteetse can show up across two assessors' files, so open the neighboring map too. For land near Frannie, our state page links each neighboring county map for Wyoming.
Getting a copy
On ground around Meeteetse, many recorder offices offer an online index, otherwise call or visit with the reference; copy fees are usually small.
Limits of the parcel data
Acreage on the record is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real lines for a parcel near Meeteetse. Out toward Meeteetse, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
