The official viewer behind the Fort Wright GIS map
On ground around Covington, some cities also run their own GIS portal for utilities or zoning; that can add detail on top of the county map.
Pulling up a parcel
Begin with the Kenton County parcel viewer; it maps every assessed parcel around Park Hills and Lakeside Park. In and around Park Hills, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. With a lot near Lakeside Park, the parcel card typically gives the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and sometimes recent sales.
Getting answers from the right desk
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Crestview Hills go to the Property Valuation Administrator (PVA), since that office keeps the assessment data. Building or septic questions for a lot near Covington are for the local planning and health departments, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Crestview Hills, so load it before you lose signal. A printout of the tract near Kenton Vale keeps working without signal.
Reading the legal description
Tracts outside towns near Fort Mitchell are often described by metes and bounds, listing bearings, distances and landmarks. Town lots near Fort Mitchell refer to a recorded plat, which is simpler to follow. Write down the legal description for the tract near Park Hills before you request a deed or survey.
Places you'll see on the map
Covington is the county seat, home to the main records offices. You'll also find Kenton Vale, Fort Mitchell, and Park Hills, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Around 171,321 people live in Kenton County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) on roughly 160 square miles. For land near Lakeside Park, Kenton County was organized in 1840, so old deeds can run back a long way.
Recorded documents worth pulling
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements for land near Park Hills are kept by the County Clerk. For property near Covington, use the book and page shown in the record panel to skip a name search.
Land on the county line
For a home near Kenton Vale, Kenton County meets Boone County, Campbell County, Grant County, Pendleton County, and Hamilton County, OH; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Park Hills may be split across two assessors' files, so open the adjacent map too.

A word on accuracy
The acreage figure is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor can set the real corners for a parcel near Lakeside Park. For a parcel near Crestview Hills, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
