Opening the Jefferson City GIS map: start here
In most places the county maintains the parcel layer, and for Jefferson City that means the Callaway County ArcGIS parcel map.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Begin with the Callaway County ArcGIS parcel map; it maps each assessed parcel in the county, New Bloomfield included. With a lot near Kingdom City, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For a tract near New Bloomfield, write down the parcel ID before closing the panel; every clerk in the county asks for it first.
A word on accuracy
Listed acreage is a tax-roll number; only a licensed surveyor can set the real corners on land around Auxvasse. Closer to Auxvasse, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Jefferson City and the county around it
Jefferson City lies within Callaway County, Missouri, so its parcels are on the county's map. For a home near Mokane, City or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, while the county keeps the tax map. Acreage past the city limits out by Auxvasse often falls under county rules instead.

Recorded documents for a parcel near Holts Summit are with the Recorder of Deeds, often with an online index. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Mokane go to planning, building or health offices, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Legal descriptions in Missouri

Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though corrections make some sections near Holts Summit odd-sized. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Kingdom City when you talk to a surveyor.
Three ways to find a parcel
For a house in Jefferson City, search the street address; owner names are usually entered last name first. For a parcel near New Bloomfield, searching by parcel number never misses, and you'll find it on tax statements.
Backing up the map with records
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements covering ground around Auxvasse are kept by the Recorder of Deeds. Inherited tracts near Holts Summit can go back through many deeds, so a title company is worth hiring before a purchase.
On site with the map
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Kingdom City, though signal can drop in rural spots. A saved image of the lot near Mokane and its lines is a good backup.
Layers worth turning on

What the record panel tells you
