Trying to understand lot lines near McKenzie? Start with the Greenville plat map, because the recorded plat shows how the land was divided. This Greenville guide covers: where plats are filed, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and what to look for on the sheet.
Tracking down the Greenville plat map
For a lot in Greenville, the deed or parcel record often names the subdivision and plat reference; that makes the request quick.
Where the parcel data lives
Your first stop is the Butler County parcel viewer; it maps each tax parcel in the county, McKenzie included. For land near McKenzie, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. For a home near McKenzie, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and often a sale date.
Replats and vacations
An amended plat may change lots around McKenzie, so check for later filings; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
Greenville, AL: the basics
Greenville sits in Butler County, Alabama, and the county assessor maps its lots. Greenville is also the county seat, which puts the Judge of Probate (probate office) close by. With a lot near Georgiana, city or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the town limits out by Georgiana generally falls under county rules rather than the town's.
Field tips
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Georgiana, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Georgiana with its ID is a good backup.
Recorded plat or GIS layer

Lots, blocks and easements
Recorded easements around Georgiana stay with the land when it sells; read the notes on the sheet.
Which office to call
For assessment questions about property around Georgiana belong with the revenue commissioner or tax assessor, since that office keeps the assessment data. Zoning, permits and septic questions near McKenzie need the planning or permitting office, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Places you'll see on the map
Greenville serves as the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find Georgiana and McKenzie, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Roughly 18,382 people call Butler County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) on about 777 square miles. Butler County was organized in 1819, so old deeds can run back a long way.
What the map can't tell you
Listed acreage is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor can set the real lines on land around Georgiana. For a home near McKenzie, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Online indexes and office visits
With a lot near McKenzie, many recorder offices offer an online index, while others require a visit or a request; copy fees are usually small.
Where the recorded documents are
Before you sign anything, get the recorded deed through the Judge of Probate (probate office); the parcel map near Georgiana only summarizes it. Inherited tracts near McKenzie can go back through a long string of deeds, so a title company can sort it out on a real sale.
Metes and bounds instead
Rural land near McKenzie that was never subdivided is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Butler County borders Conecuh County, Covington County, Crenshaw County, Lowndes County, and Monroe County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. A tract near the line by McKenzie may show up in two county records, so check the neighboring map too. With a lot near Georgiana, the Platbookmapper state page lists each neighboring county map for Alabama.
How land is described here
Alabama follows the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around McKenzie reference sections and townships. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though real sections near Georgiana vary in size. Keep the legal description for land near McKenzie for any title or survey request.
