Closer to Coffeeville, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records.

Reading the owner field
If a company owns land near Coffeeville, look it up in the state's business registry. An estate listed as owner near Thomasville usually means title hasn't passed yet after a death, and the executor handles questions.
