The official viewer behind the Highland Heights GIS map
For property near Southgate, some cities also run their own GIS portal for utilities or zoning; that can add detail on top of the county map.
Getting to the right map
The public parcel map for this area is the LINK-GIS Map Viewer, and anyone can open it without signing up. If you only know roughly where the land is, pan along Interstate 471 until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want. Closer to Southgate, write down the parcel ID before closing the panel; every records desk in the county uses it to find the file.
Keeping a record
Print or screenshot the parcel near Silver Grove with its ID visible, which helps later when you ask the assessor or a title company.
Limits of the parcel data
Tax maps are drawn for assessment, not measured on the ground, so a tree line near Cold Spring often sits a few yards off the line on screen. With a lot near Cold Spring, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Highland Heights and the county around it
Highland Heights is part of Campbell County, Kentucky, so its parcels are on the county's map. Local government in Highland Heights handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Land beyond the town limits toward Cold Spring often falls under county rules, not municipal ones.
A quick look at the area
Alexandria serves as the county seat, where most land records are kept. You'll also find Wilder, Cold Spring, Southgate, and Crestview. Around 93,702 people live in Campbell County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across roughly 151 square miles. Campbell County was organized in 1794, and some chains of title near Crestview are long. Features like Ohio River and Licking River are easy to spot when you zoom out from Wilder.
Three ways to find a parcel
For a house in Highland Heights, search the street address; for owner searches, try last name first. Closer to Fort Thomas, searching by parcel number never misses, and it's printed on tax bills.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Campbell County meets Kenton County, Pendleton County, Clermont County, OH, and Hamilton County, OH; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. A tract near the line by Crestview can show up in two county records, so open the adjacent map before you assume the acreage. On ground around Southgate, the Platbookmapper state page links every neighboring county map across Kentucky.
Taking the map into the field
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Crestview, so load it before you lose signal. A printout of the tract near Wilder keeps working without signal.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements covering ground around Crestview are filed with the County Clerk. For a home near Silver Grove, have ready the instrument number listed on the parcel record to skip a name search.
Layers worth turning on
On ground around Wilder, layer lists often include zoning, flood zones, city limits, school districts or contours; not every viewer has them all.
Troubleshooting the viewer
If the viewer stalls on a phone near Silver Grove, switch browsers or turn off pop-up blockers; links occasionally change, and our directory page keeps the current one.
Sections, lots and bearings
Tracts outside towns near Crestview commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, listing bearings, distances and landmarks. Town lots near Silver Grove are typically described by lot and block, making them easier to find. Keep the legal description for land near Crestview for any title or survey request.
Reading a parcel record
If sale dates appear, they help gauge the market around Southgate are a useful starting point; an appraiser is the real authority.
Offices that can help
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Cold Spring looks off belong with the Property Valuation Administrator (PVA), since that office keeps the assessment data. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Fort Thomas need the planning or permitting office, town or county, depending on location.

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.
