When a deed near Spring City says lot and block, look up the Dayton plat map it refers to. This Dayton guide covers: where plats are filed, plat versus tax map, and the details that matter to buyers.
Tracking down the Dayton plat map
For land around Graysville, the deed or parcel record often names the subdivision and plat reference; that makes the request quick.
Where the parcel data lives

For a parcel near Spring City, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up.

Getting answers from the right desk
Recorded documents for a parcel near Graysville come from the Register of Deeds, sometimes only in person. Building or septic questions for a lot near Graysville go to planning, building or health offices, town or county, depending on location.
Using it on a phone
