Where the Kokomo GIS map lives
Some cities also run their own GIS portal for utilities or zoning; ask city hall in Kokomo whether one exists.
Where the parcel data lives
Begin with the Howard County Beacon site; it covers every assessed parcel around Greentown and Russiaville. When a rural tract has no street number, pan along US Route 31 and click the parcel itself. Out toward Greentown, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and often a sale date.
Land on the county line
Howard County touches Carroll County, Cass County, Clinton County, Grant County, and Miami County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. A tract near the line by Greentown may be split across two assessors' files, so check the adjacent map too. In and around Russiaville, our state page lists each neighboring county map across Indiana.
Using it on a phone
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Greentown, so load it before you lose signal. A screenshot of the parcel near Russiaville with its ID keeps working without signal.
Legal descriptions in Indiana
Indiana is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Greentown cite section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though corrections make some sections near Russiaville odd-sized.

Backing up the map with records
