Recorded documents worth pulling
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements covering ground around Priceville are kept by the Judge of Probate (probate office). Long-held tracts near Decatur can go back through a long string of deeds, so a title company can sort it out on a real sale.
Limits of the parcel data
Tax maps are drawn for assessment, not surveyed, so the edge of a yard near Priceville may sit a few yards off the line on screen. For acreage around Eva, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
City limits and county records

For a home near Eva, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Acreage past the city limits near Trinity usually falls under county rules rather than the town's.
On site with the map
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Trinity, though signal can drop in rural spots. A saved image of the lot near Decatur and its lines helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Which office to call
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Falkville looks off go to the revenue commissioner or tax assessor, which maintains the tax roll. Building or septic questions for a lot near Falkville need the planning or permitting office, town or county, depending on location.
