When a deed near Reynoldsburg says lot and block, the Pataskala plat map is where those numbers come from. What this Pataskala guide covers: where to request a copy, plat versus tax map, and the details that matter to buyers.
Getting started with the Pataskala plat map
For a lot in Pataskala, the deed or parcel record often names the subdivision and plat reference; use it to request a copy.
Getting to the right map
Parcels around Alexandria can be looked up on the Licking County parcel viewer, a viewer that needs no account. If you only know roughly where the land is, zoom in from New Albany and click the parcel itself. For a tract near New Albany, write down the parcel ID before closing the panel; each clerk in the county asks for it first.
Limits of the parcel data
Listed acreage is an estimate; only a licensed surveyor establishes the real lines for a parcel near Johnstown. For a home near Reynoldsburg, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
When a plat changes
An amended plat may change lots around Kirkersville, so check for later filings; street vacations near Reynoldsburg show up in the records too.
Land outside a subdivision
Acreage around Granville outside a subdivision is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.
Pataskala and the county around it
Pataskala is part of Licking County, Ohio, which means parcel data comes from the county. If you're looking near Reynoldsburg, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Acreage past the city limits toward Kirkersville usually follows county rules instead.
Two different maps
The Licking County parcel viewer draws parcels for taxes, but the recorded plat is what the deed relies on.
Licking County in a few facts
Newark serves as the county seat, home to the main records offices. Other places on the map include Reynoldsburg, New Albany, Alexandria, and Kirkersville, where town lots give way to larger tracts. About 183,201 people live in Licking County (Census estimate, 2023) across roughly 682 square miles. Licking County dates to 1808, and some chains of title near New Albany are long.
Who handles what
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Granville looks off go to the County Auditor, the office behind the parcel record. Questions about what you can build around Granville go to planning, building or health offices, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Lots, blocks and easements
For a tract near Granville, the sheet usually includes lot and block numbers, dimensions and bearings, street rights-of-way and easements.
Getting a copy
For property near Johnstown, many recorder offices offer an online index, while others require a visit or a request; small fees are common.
Recorded documents worth pulling
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements covering ground around Alexandria are kept by the County Recorder. Closer to Alexandria, have ready the book and page from the tax record to skip a name search.
Land on the county line
Licking County meets Coshocton County, Delaware County, Fairfield County, Franklin County, and Knox County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. A tract near the line by Reynoldsburg can be split in two county records, so check the neighboring map too. For a home near New Albany, our state page links every neighboring county map for Ohio.
