The official viewer behind the Heath GIS map
Closer to Hebron, some cities also run their own GIS portal for utilities or zoning; that can add detail on top of the county map.
Where the parcel data lives
Go first to the Licking County parcel viewer; it includes every assessed parcel in the county, Granville included. If the land is near Hebron, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For a tract near Buckeye Lake, the record panel normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and often a sale date.
Keeping a record
Save a screenshot of the lot near Hebron and its record panel, so you have it when calling an office.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Licking County touches Coshocton County, Delaware County, Fairfield County, Franklin County, and Knox County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map.
