For any lot around Canaan, the Lebanon GIS map shows parcel boundaries plus basic tax data. Covered here for Lebanon: where that map lives, the fastest ways to search, and the limits worth knowing.
Getting started with the Lebanon GIS map
Parcel maps here are usually run by the county, not the town, and for Lebanon that means the NHDOT Parcel Mosaic Viewer.
Opening the official parcel viewer
Parcels around Hanover are published on the NHDOT Parcel Mosaic Viewer, a viewer that needs no account. For a home near Alexandria, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. Closer to Hanover, the record panel normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and often a sale date.
Troubleshooting the viewer
When the map won't open around Enfield, switch browsers or turn off pop-up blockers; links occasionally change, and our directory page keeps the current one.
A quick look at the area
Smaller places on the map include Hanover, Enfield, Canaan, and Alexandria. Roughly 93,146 people call Grafton County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) on roughly 1,709 square miles. Grafton County was organized in 1769, so old deeds can run back a long way. Places such as Squam Lake and White Mountain National Forest help you orient on the aerial around Alexandria.
Taking the map into the field
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Bath, though signal can drop in rural spots. A screenshot of the parcel near Bath with its ID keeps working without signal.
Lebanon, NH: the basics
Lebanon is part of Grafton County, New Hampshire, so its parcels are on the county's map. For a tract near Enfield, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Lots just outside the town limits near Enfield usually answers to county rules, not municipal ones.
Reading the legal description
Older tracts around Canaan commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, which trace the boundary call by call. Town lots near Bath are typically described by lot and block, which is simpler to follow. Write down the legal description for the tract near Bath when you talk to a surveyor.
Keeping a record
Save a screenshot of the lot near Canaan and its record panel, so you have it when calling an office.
Getting answers from the right desk
Anything recorded against property around Alexandria come from the county Registry of Deeds, sometimes only in person. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Hanover need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Searching the map
Vacant ground near Canaan may lack an address, which means panning to it and clicking. If the land is near Canaan, searching by parcel number never misses, and you'll find it on tax statements.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Grafton County borders Belknap County, Carroll County, Coos County, Merrimack County, and Sullivan County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. A tract near the line by Bath can be split in two county records, so check the adjacent map as well. Our state page links each neighboring county map for New Hampshire.
What the layers show
For property near Enfield, layer lists often include zoning, flood zones, city limits, school districts or contours; not every viewer has them all.
Backing up the map with records
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements for parcels in the county are kept by the county Registry of Deeds. Inherited tracts around Alexandria may trace back through many deeds, so a title company can sort it out if money is changing hands.
What the map can't tell you
Listed acreage is an estimate; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real corners for a parcel near Ashland. Records update in batches, so a fresh transfer around Bath may not show yet.
Owner, value and acreage
Recent sales on nearby lots in Lebanon are a useful starting point; they're not an appraisal.
