Buying a lot in a subdivision near St. Petersburg? What you want is the Gulfport plat map, since it shows lots, streets and easements as approved. Covered here for Gulfport: where plats are filed, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and what to look for on the sheet.
Tracking down the Gulfport plat map
For a subdivision near St. Pete Beach, the deed or parcel record often names the subdivision and plat reference; bring that to the recorder's office or its online index.
The free map to start with
Begin with the Pinellas County parcel viewer; it covers every tax parcel from Madeira Beach to St. Petersburg. For acreage around South Pasadena, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For property near Treasure Island, a pop-up or side panel normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
Reading the legal description
Florida uses the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Madeira Beach is described by section, township and range. A standard section is about one square mile, roughly 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though real sections near Kenneth City vary in size. Keep the legal description for land near South Pasadena when you talk to a surveyor.
Backing up the map with records
For anything that matters, request the recorded deed from the Clerk of the Circuit Court (official records); the parcel map near Madeira Beach only summarizes it. Long-held tracts around Treasure Island may trace back through several deeds, and a title company can sort it out if money is changing hands.
When a plat changes
An amended plat may change lots around Treasure Island, so check for later filings; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
Getting answers from the right desk
Deeds, mortgages and recorded plats for land near South Pasadena sit in the index kept by the Clerk of the Circuit Court (official records), usually searchable by name or document number. Zoning, permits and septic questions near St. Petersburg need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
When there's no plat
Acreage around St. Petersburg outside a subdivision is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; look for a recorded survey for land near Treasure Island.
Gulfport and the county around it
Gulfport sits in Pinellas County, Florida, so its parcels are on the county's map. For a tract near Madeira Beach, City or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Land beyond the town limits near Treasure Island generally answers to county rules, not municipal ones.
How a plat differs from the tax map
When the two disagree for a lot near St. Petersburg, go with the plat and a surveyor's work.
What the map can't tell you
Listed acreage is an assessed number; only a licensed surveyor sets the real corners for a parcel near St. Petersburg. In and around Treasure Island, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Neighboring parcel maps

Ground near Kenneth City that runs to the line can show up across two assessors' files, so check the adjacent map as well.

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.
