The viewer Union County publishes

Monroe and the county around it
Monroe lies within Union County, North Carolina, which means parcel data comes from the county. As the county seat, Monroe hosts the courthouse, handy when you need recorded documents. For a home near Lake Park, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Land beyond the city limits toward Indian Trail generally falls under county rules, not municipal ones.
How a plat differs from the tax map
The Union County parcel viewer draws parcels for taxes, whereas the plat carries surveyed dimensions.
Who handles what
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Mineral Springs go to the county tax office, the office behind the parcel record. Questions about what you can build around Wingate need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
