When a deed near Russiaville says lot and block, the Kokomo plat map is where those numbers come from. This Kokomo guide covers: where plats are filed, plat versus tax map, and what to look for on the sheet.
The Kokomo plat map: start here
For land around Russiaville, the deed usually cites the plat; use it to request a copy.
Where the parcel data lives
Your first stop is the Howard County Beacon site; it covers every tax parcel in the county, Greentown included. Without an address in hand, pan along US Route 31 and select the outline. Closer to Russiaville, write down the parcel ID before closing the panel; every office in the county will want it.
Backing up the map with records
Before you sign anything, request the recorded deed through the County Recorder; the parcel line is a drawing of it, which applies near Greentown as much as anywhere. Older tracts around Russiaville may sit on a long string of deeds, and a title company can sort it out before a purchase.
Kokomo and the county around it
Kokomo is part of Howard County, Indiana, which means parcel data comes from the county. As the county seat, Kokomo hosts the courthouse, handy when you need recorded documents. If the land is near Russiaville, the municipality handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the city limits out by Greentown usually answers to county rules, not municipal ones.
