Checking easements on a house in Paris? Start with the Paris plat map, since it shows lots, streets and easements as approved. This Paris guide covers: where plats are filed, plat versus tax map, and the details that matter to buyers.
Getting started with the Paris plat map
For land around Millersburg, the deed or parcel record often names the subdivision and plat reference; bring that to the recorder's office or its online index.
Getting to the right map
Begin with the Bourbon County qPublic map; it maps each tax parcel from Millersburg to North Middletown. When a rural tract has no street number, pan along the nearest road and click the parcel itself, whether the land is near Millersburg or elsewhere in the county. If you're looking near Millersburg, a pop-up or side panel normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and in many cases the last transfer.
Where Paris fits in
Paris is part of Bourbon County, Kentucky, so its parcels are on the county's map. Paris is also the county seat, handy when you need recorded documents. Local government in Paris handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, but the county runs assessment and recording. Land beyond the town limits toward North Middletown usually follows county rules instead.
Replats and vacations
An amended plat may change lots around Millersburg, so check for later filings; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
Neighboring parcel maps
Bourbon County meets Bath County, Clark County, Fayette County, Harrison County, and Montgomery County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. A tract near the line by North Middletown can show up in two county records, so check the neighboring map too.

Where the recorded documents are
For anything that matters, request the recorded deed from the County Clerk; the parcel map near Millersburg only summarizes it. Long-held tracts near North Middletown may sit on a long string of deeds, and a title company earns its fee if money is changing hands.
When there's no plat

How a plat differs from the tax map
The Bourbon County qPublic map draws parcels for taxes, whereas the plat carries surveyed dimensions.
On site with the map
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Millersburg, though signal can drop in rural spots. A printout of the tract near Millersburg helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Before you lean on the lines
