Opening the official parcel viewer
For a tract near New Union, the no-cost parcel map for this area is the Tennessee Property Viewer, and anyone can open it without signing up. For a tract near New Union, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. Out toward Hillsboro, copy the parcel ID before closing the panel; every clerk in the county asks for it first.
Where the recorded documents are
In and around New Union, the map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements for parcels in the county sit with the Register of Deeds. With a lot near Lakewood Park, have ready the document number listed on the parcel record so staff can find the deed fast.
Access, acreage and lines
Acreage on the record is assessed, not surveyed, and a survey sets what you're really buying near Manchester.
How land is described here
Tracts outside towns near Lakewood Park are often described by metes and bounds, listing bearings, distances and landmarks. Town lots near Tullahoma usually use lot and block from a recorded plat instead, making them easier to find. Write down the legal description for the tract near Tullahoma when you talk to a surveyor.
What the deed may not include
In some areas, mineral or timber rights near New Union can be sold separately, so read the deed and ask the title company.
Land on the county line
Coffee County touches Bedford County, Cannon County, Franklin County, Grundy County, and Moore County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. A tract near the line by New Union can be split in two county records, so check the neighboring map as well. In and around Tullahoma, our state page lists every bordering county map for Tennessee.
Using it on a phone
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Lakewood Park, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A saved image of the lot near Tullahoma and its lines is a good backup.
Who handles what

Flood, wetlands and soils
For a homesite outside Belmont without sewer, ask the health department about soil testing.
Visiting the tract
Walk the land near New Union and look for markers, fences and trails, noting road condition, neighbors and noise; the map won't tell you that.
A word on accuracy
For a home near New Union, the acreage figure is an assessed number; only a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary on the ground. On ground around Manchester, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
