Pulling up a parcel

Closer to Georgiana, city or town hall 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 McKenzie generally falls under county rules, not municipal ones.

Inside the parcel card
