For any lot around Hanover, the Newark GIS map lays out lines, owner names and parcel numbers. What this Newark guide covers: which viewer to open, how to search it, and the limits worth knowing.
Getting started with the Newark GIS map
If you're looking near St. Louisville, some cities also run their own GIS portal for utilities or zoning; that can add detail on top of the county map.
Getting to the right map
The official parcel map for this area is the Licking County parcel viewer, and no login is needed to use it. With a lot near Hanover, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. If you're looking near St. Louisville, write down the parcel ID from that panel; every clerk in the county asks for it first.
Troubleshooting the viewer
When the map won't open around Hanover, switch browsers or turn off pop-up blockers; links occasionally change, and our directory page keeps the current one.
A word on accuracy
Acreage on the record is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary on land around Hanover. On ground around Hanover, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
City limits and county records
Newark sits in Licking County, Ohio, so its parcels are on the county's map. Newark is also the county seat, which puts the County Recorder close by. In and around Heath, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, but the county runs assessment and recording. Lots just outside the city limits toward Heath generally falls under county rules rather than the town's.
Legal descriptions in Ohio
Tracts outside towns near Hebron are often described by metes and bounds, a series of courses and distances from a starting point. Platted lots around Granville refer to a recorded plat, making them easier to find. Keep the legal description for land near Granville when you talk to a surveyor.
Saving what you find
Save a screenshot of the lot near Granville and its record panel, which helps later when you ask the assessor or a title company.
Where the recorded documents are
For anything that matters, request the recorded deed from the County Recorder; the parcel map near Buckeye Lake only summarizes it. Long-held tracts around Granville may trace back through a long string of deeds, so a title company earns its fee before a purchase.
Places you'll see on the map
Newark is the county seat, where most land records are kept. You'll also find Heath, Granville, St. Louisville, and Hanover, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Around 183,201 people live in Licking County (Census estimate, 2023) across about 682 square miles. Licking County was organized in 1808, and some chains of title near St. Louisville are long.
Next door to Licking County
Licking County touches Coshocton County, Delaware County, Fairfield County, Franklin County, and Knox County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Hanover may show up across two assessors' files, so look at the adjacent map before you assume the acreage. With a lot near St. Louisville, our state page links each neighboring county map across Ohio.
Finding the right lot
For a house in Newark, search the street address; for owner searches, try last name first. For acreage around Heath, searching by parcel number never misses, and it carries over to every office in the county.
Using it on a phone
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Hebron, though signal can drop in rural spots. A screenshot of the parcel near Granville with its ID keeps working without signal.
Getting answers from the right desk
Deeds, mortgages and recorded plats for land near St. Louisville sit in the index kept by the County Recorder, often with an online index. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Buckeye Lake need the planning or permitting office, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Aerials, labels and overlays
An aerial view around Hanover shows roofs, driveways and tree lines next to the parcel edges.
Reading a parcel record
The record for a parcel near Hanover typically lists owner and value fields plus the parcel number.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
