For any property near Alfordsville, a Daviess County land owner map on the official viewer shows the owner of record, a mailing address and a parcel number. This county guide covers: which viewer to use, what trusts, estates and LLCs mean, and how to confirm with the deed for land near Cornettsville.
Running a Daviess County land owner map step by step
The Daviess County WTH GIS map is the free tool for this; try the address first, then the owner's name.
Where the parcel data lives
Begin with the Daviess County WTH GIS map; it maps every assessed parcel around Elnora and Washington. In and around Elnora, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. For property near Corning, save the parcel ID before closing the panel; each records desk in the county asks for it first.
Who the record really names
If the land is near Montgomery, the owner field shows who the tax bill names, which may be a person, a trust, a company or an estate. "Estate of" on a record near Black Oak often points to an open probate, so the personal representative is the contact.
Who handles what
Anything recorded against property around Cornettsville sit in the index kept by the County Recorder, usually searchable by name or document number. Questions about what you can build around Washington are for the local planning and health departments, town or county, depending on location.
Reading the legal description

Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though sections near Cornettsville can be irregular. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Black Oak for any title or survey request.
Tax data in the record
The record for a parcel near Epsom often lists value and tax amounts; the County Assessor sets values and the treasurer or collector bills taxes.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
On ground around Cornettsville, the map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements for parcels in the county sit with the County Recorder. Closer to Epsom, use the book and page listed on the parcel record and the lookup takes minutes.
Getting your bearings
Washington holds the county offices, where most land records are kept. Smaller places on the map include Alfordsville, Cannelburg, Elnora, and Montgomery.

Limits of the parcel data
Near Washington, listed acreage is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real lines on the ground. Out toward Alfordsville, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
