When a listing near Vandalia mentions a lot number, you'll need the Englewood plat map to make sense of it. This Englewood guide covers: where plats are filed, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and what to look for on the sheet.
The Englewood plat map: start here
For a lot in Englewood, the deed usually cites the plat; use it to request a copy.
Pulling up a parcel
Go first to the Montgomery County parcel viewer; it covers each tax parcel in the county, Clayton included. For a parcel near Clayton, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For acreage around Trotwood, write down the parcel ID from that panel; every records desk in the county uses it to find the file.
Englewood and the county around it
Englewood is part of Montgomery County, Ohio, and the county assessor maps its lots. In and around Clayton, the municipality handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, but the county runs assessment and recording. Land beyond the town limits toward Vandalia generally falls under county rules rather than the town's.
Where the recorded documents are
When the details count, get the recorded deed through the County Recorder; the parcel map near Vandalia only summarizes it. Long-held tracts near Phillipsburg can go back through a long string of deeds, and a title company is worth hiring on a real sale.
How a plat differs from the tax map
The Montgomery County parcel viewer draws parcels for taxes, while the recorded plat is the legal document.
When a plat changes
An amended plat may change lots around Trotwood, search the index for replats of the same subdivision; street vacations near Phillipsburg show up in the records too.
Field tips
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Dayton, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A printout of the tract near Brookville helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Metes and bounds instead
Rural land near Brookville that was never subdivided is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.
Details on the Englewood plat map
Easements on the plat near Vandalia limit where you can build or fence; check the plat notes and any covenants.
Next door to Montgomery County
Montgomery County meets Butler County, Clark County, Darke County, Greene County, and Miami County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Ground near Vandalia that runs to the line can be split in two county records, so look at the adjacent map before you assume the acreage. Around Brookville, the Platbookmapper state page links each neighboring county map across Ohio.
How land is described here
Rural deeds near Brookville commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, which trace the boundary call by call. Subdivision lots in Phillipsburg refer to a recorded plat, which is simpler to follow. Write down the legal description for the tract near Trotwood before you request a deed or survey.
Getting your bearings
Dayton is the county seat, home to the main records offices. You'll also find Clayton, Trotwood, Phillipsburg, and Brookville. Around 533,796 people call Montgomery County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across roughly 461 square miles. Montgomery County dates to 1803, and some chains of title near Phillipsburg are long.
Offices that can help
Deeds, mortgages and recorded plats for land near Vandalia sit in the index kept by the County Recorder, sometimes only in person. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Trotwood need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Requesting the plat
With a lot near Trotwood, many recorder offices offer an online index, otherwise call or visit with the reference; copy fees are usually small.
What the map can't tell you
The acreage figure is an estimate; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real lines on land around Phillipsburg. For acreage around Phillipsburg, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
