Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Scotts Hill, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Sardis with its ID keeps working without signal.
Getting answers from the right desk

Land outside a subdivision
Rural land near Sardis that was never subdivided may have no plat at all; look for a recorded survey for land near Scotts Hill.

Before you lean on the lines
