Getting started with the Hoke County plat book
For a parcel near Lumber River State Park, plat books are commercial atlases, with owner names on each tract, usually township by township.
The viewer Hoke County publishes
Your first stop is the Hoke County parcel viewer; it covers every assessed parcel in the county, Bowmore included.

Before you lean on the lines

Which office to call
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Ashley Heights looks off belong with the county tax office, which maintains the tax roll. Questions about what you can build around Bowmore need the planning or permitting office, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
