Looking for a Perry County plat book? It's a printed atlas of landownership, usually by township, useful for farms near Folsom. Covered here for the county: what's in a plat book, where to look for printed copies, and the free online map that stays current around Hamburg.
The Perry County plat book: start here
For a parcel near Hamburg, a plat book is a privately published atlas, showing rural owners and tract lines, page by page across the county.
Pulling up a parcel
Go first to the AlabamaGIS / Flagship GIS - Perry County Revenue Commission public GIS; it includes each assessed parcel from Talladega National Forest to Uniontown. For a parcel near Adler, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For a parcel near Heiberger, write down the parcel ID while you have it open; each office in the county will want it.
Finding a printed edition
Not every county has a current edition, check with local offices and farm stores near Talladega National Forest.
Current ownership online
Between printed editions, the AlabamaGIS / Flagship GIS - Perry County Revenue Commission public GIS shows current owners, for tracts near Uniontown.
How land is described here
Alabama uses the Public Land Survey System, so rural legal descriptions near Augustin cite section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though sections near Talladega National Forest can be irregular. Write down the legal description for the tract near Augustin when you talk to a surveyor.
Making your own township pages
Print parcel views near Hamburg township by township and keep them in a binder for the truck.
Common uses
Farmers, hunters and appraisers near Adler use plat books to see ownership across many tracts at once.
Before you lean on the lines
Tax maps are drawn for assessment, not measured on the ground, so a tree line near Hamburg may sit some distance off the line on screen. For acreage around Augustin, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
A quick look at the area
Marion serves as the county seat, home to the main records offices. Other places on the map include Uniontown, Adler, Augustin, and Folsom, each with its own cluster of lots. About 7,738 people live in Perry County (Census estimate, 2023) spread over some 720 square miles. Perry County was organized in 1819, so old deeds can run back a long way. Landmarks such as Talladega National Forest help you orient on the aerial.
On site with the map
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Hamburg, though signal can drop in rural spots. A saved image of the lot near Uniontown and its lines is a good backup.
Which office to call
Deeds, mortgages and recorded plats for land near Uniontown sit in the index kept by the Judge of Probate (probate office), often with an online index. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Hamburg are for the local planning and health departments, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Land on the county line
The county touches Bibb County, Chilton County, Dallas County, Hale County, and Marengo County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map, especially near Adler. Acreage along the edge near Marion may be split in two county records, so look at the neighboring map too. With a lot near Heiberger, our state page lists every neighboring county map for Alabama.
Two kinds of plat
Don't confuse the atlas with a recorded subdivision plat: recorded plats near Folsom are filed with the Judge of Probate (probate office), while the atlas is a reference.
The paper trail behind a parcel
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements for land near Adler sit with the Judge of Probate (probate office). For a tract near Talladega National Forest, use the document number shown in the record panel to skip a name search.

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.
