When a deed near Steinhatchee says lot and block, you'll need the Perry plat map to make sense of it. This Perry guide covers: where plats are filed, plat versus tax map, and the details that matter to buyers.
Who keeps the Perry plat map
For a subdivision near Steinhatchee, look for the plat book reference on the parcel record; bring that to the recorder's office or its online index.
Pulling up a parcel
Lots and tracts near Steinhatchee are published on the Taylor County qPublic map, which opens without registering. For a parcel near Steinhatchee, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. For land near Athena, a pop-up or side panel usually lists the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
How land is described here
Florida is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Steinhatchee is described by section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though real sections near Steinhatchee vary in size. Keep the legal description for land near Steinhatchee for any title or survey request.
Neighboring parcel maps
Taylor County meets Dixie County, Jefferson County, Lafayette County, and Madison County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. A tract near the line by Steinhatchee may be split in two county records, so look at the neighboring map too. For a parcel near Athena, the Platbookmapper state page lists every neighboring county map for Florida.
Recorded documents worth pulling
Before you sign anything, pull the recorded deed from the Clerk of the Circuit Court (official records); the parcel map near Steinhatchee only summarizes it. With a lot near Steinhatchee, have ready the book and page listed on the parcel record to skip a name search.
City limits and county records
Perry sits in Taylor County, Florida, which means parcel data comes from the county. As the county seat, Perry hosts the courthouse, which puts the Clerk of the Circuit Court (official records) close by. Out toward Athena, city or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, while the county keeps the tax map. Land beyond the town limits near Steinhatchee generally follows county rules rather than the town's.
