When land near Buckeye Lake catches your eye, a look at the Granville GIS map gives you lines, owner names and parcel numbers. This Granville guide covers: where that map lives, the fastest ways to search, and the limits worth knowing.
Where the Granville GIS map lives
With a lot near Buckeye Lake, some cities also run their own GIS portal for utilities or zoning; that can add detail on top of the county map.
Opening the official parcel viewer
The official parcel map for this area is the Licking County parcel viewer, and it opens in a browser with no account. With a lot near Heath, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. For a tract near Newark, the record panel typically gives the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and sometimes recent sales.
City limits and county records
Granville sits in Licking County, Ohio, so its parcels are on the county's map. For a tract near St. Louisville, the municipality handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Lots just outside the town limits toward Heath usually follows county rules, not municipal ones.

Troubleshooting the viewer
When the map won't open around St. Louisville, switch browsers or turn off pop-up blockers; the Platbookmapper county page tracks the current link.
A word on accuracy
Acreage on the record is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor can set the real corners for a parcel near St. Louisville. For a tract near St. Louisville, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Searching the map
For a house in Granville, search the street address; owner search often wants the surname first. For land near St. Louisville, searching by parcel number never misses, and you'll find it on tax statements.
Aerials, labels and overlays
On ground around Heath, layer lists often include municipal boundaries, floodplain and sometimes zoning; availability varies.
Where the recorded documents are
Before you sign anything, pull the recorded deed from the County Recorder; the parcel map near St. Louisville only summarizes it. Inherited tracts around Alexandria may trace back through several deeds, and a title company earns its fee before a purchase.
Getting your bearings
Newark is the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. Smaller places on the map include Heath, Alexandria, and Hebron, each with its own cluster of lots. Roughly 183,201 people call Licking County home (Census estimate, 2023) spread over some 682 square miles. If the land is near Buckeye Lake, Licking County dates to 1808, so old deeds can run back a long way.
Legal descriptions in Ohio

Platted lots around Heath usually use lot and block from a recorded plat instead, making them easier to find. Write down the legal description for the tract near Hebron when you talk to a surveyor.
Inside the parcel card
Recent sales on nearby lots around Alexandria are a useful starting point; they're not an appraisal.
