Checking easements on a house in Georgetown? What you want is the Georgetown plat map, because the recorded plat shows how the land was divided. This Georgetown guide covers: where plats are filed, plat versus tax map, and what to look for on the sheet.
The Georgetown plat map: start here
For a subdivision near Hamersville, the deed or parcel record often names the subdivision and plat reference; that makes the request quick.
Getting to the right map
Begin with the Brown County parcel viewer; it maps each tax parcel from Hamersville to Sardinia. If you're looking near Higginsport, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For property near Russellville, the record panel usually lists the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and often a sale date.
On site with the map
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Higginsport, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A saved image of the lot near Mount Orab and its lines keeps working without signal.
A quick look at the area
Georgetown is the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. Other places on the map include Hamersville, Russellville, Higginsport, and Ripley, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Roughly 43,777 people call Brown County home (Census estimate, 2023) across some 490 square miles. If you're looking near Ripley, Brown County was formed in 1818, so old deeds can run back a long way. Landmarks such as Little Miami River are easy to spot when you zoom out from Sardinia.
Land on the county line
Brown County touches Bracken County, KY, Mason County, KY, Adams County, Clermont County, and Clinton County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. A tract near the line by Hamersville can be split across two assessors' files, so look at the adjacent map as well. For a home near Ripley, our state page links each neighboring county map for Ohio.
Sections, lots and bearings
Rural deeds near Sardinia are often described by metes and bounds, a series of courses and distances from a starting point. Town lots near Mount Orab refer to a recorded plat, which is simpler to follow. Write down the legal description for the tract near Higginsport for any title or survey request.
Georgetown and the county around it
Georgetown sits in Brown County, Ohio, so its parcels are on the county's map. Georgetown is also the county seat, which puts the County Recorder close by. Around Mount Orab, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Land beyond the town limits out by Higginsport often answers to county rules rather than the town's.
Two different maps
The Brown County parcel viewer draws parcels for taxes, whereas the plat carries surveyed dimensions.
When there's no plat
Rural land near Hamersville 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 Georgetown plat map
For acreage around Ripley, the sheet usually includes lot and block numbers, dimensions and bearings, street rights-of-way and easements.
When a plat changes
An amended plat may change lots around Ripley, so check for later filings; street vacations near Mount Orab show up in the records too.
Ordering the Georgetown plat map
For acreage around Mount Orab, some counties put plat images online, while others require a visit or a request; copy fees are usually small.
Limits of the parcel data
The acreage figure is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor can set the real corners for a parcel near Hamersville. In and around Ripley, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Recorded documents worth pulling
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements for land near Sardinia sit with the County Recorder. Bring the instrument number listed on the parcel record so staff can find the deed fast.
Who handles what
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Ripley looks off are handled by the County Auditor, the office behind the parcel record. Building or septic questions for a lot near Ripley are for the local planning and health departments, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.

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.
