Where the Fayetteville GIS map lives
In most places the county maintains the parcel layer, which makes the Tennessee Property Viewer the main source for lots in Fayetteville.
Where the parcel data lives
Your first stop is the Tennessee Property Viewer; it maps every assessed parcel from Petersburg to Ardmore. On ground around Petersburg, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. Around Ardmore, the parcel card usually lists the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and often a sale date.
Sections, lots and bearings
Older tracts around Ardmore commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, a series of courses and distances from a starting point. Town lots near Petersburg refer to a recorded plat, which is simpler to follow. Keep the legal description for land near Ardmore before you request a deed or survey.
Backing up the map with records
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements for land near Ardmore sit with the Register of Deeds. For acreage around Petersburg, have ready the instrument number listed on the parcel record to skip a name search.
When the map won't load
When the map won't open around Ardmore, try a desktop browser or clear the cache; links occasionally change, and our directory page keeps the current one.
Where Fayetteville fits in
Fayetteville is part of Lincoln County, Tennessee, which means parcel data comes from the county. Fayetteville is also the county seat, handy when you need recorded documents. For a home near Ardmore, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, while the county keeps the tax map.

When a parcel crosses a boundary
Lincoln County touches Limestone County, AL, Madison County, AL, Bedford County, Franklin County, and Giles County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map.
