When a listing near Wellington mentions a lot number, you'll need the Price plat map to make sense of it. Covered here for Price: where to request a copy, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and what to look for on the sheet.
Who keeps the Price plat map
For a lot in Price, look for the plat book reference on the parcel record; use it to request a copy.
Where the parcel data lives
Your first stop is the Carbon County parcel viewer; it maps each assessed parcel from Helper to Scofield. When a rural tract has no street number, zoom in from Wellington and select the outline. In and around Scofield, the record panel normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
When a plat changes
Lots near Scofield can be combined or reconfigured by a replat, so check for later filings; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
On site with the map
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Wellington, though signal can drop in rural spots. A saved image of the lot near Scofield and its lines helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Price, UT: the basics
Price is part of Carbon County, Utah, and the county assessor maps its lots. Price is also the county seat, so deeds and plats are filed in town. For a tract near East Carbon, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Land beyond the town limits toward Scofield generally follows county rules, not municipal ones.
Recorded plat or GIS layer
The tax map on the Carbon County parcel viewer is a summary, whereas the plat carries surveyed dimensions.
Legal descriptions in Utah
Utah uses the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Scofield is described by section, township and range. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though corrections make some sections near East Carbon odd-sized. Write down the legal description for the tract near Wellington for any title or survey request.
The paper trail behind a parcel
When the details count, request the recorded deed from the County Recorder; the parcel map near East Carbon only summarizes it. For a parcel near East Carbon, have ready the book and page listed on the parcel record to skip a name search.
Getting your bearings
Price is the county seat, where most land records are kept. You'll also find Wellington, Helper, East Carbon, and Scofield, each with its own cluster of lots. Around 20,609 people call Carbon County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) spread over about 1,479 square miles. Carbon County was formed in 1894, so old deeds can run back a long way. Features like Manti National Forest are easy to spot when you zoom out from Scofield.
A word on accuracy
The acreage figure is an assessed number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real corners for a parcel near Scofield. For acreage around Wellington, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Land outside a subdivision
Acreage around East Carbon outside a subdivision is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; look for a recorded survey for land near Helper.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Carbon County meets Duchesne County, Emery County, Grand County, Sanpete County, and Uintah County, all with their own assessor records. Ground near Helper that runs to the line may be split in two county records, so look at the neighboring map too. For property near East Carbon, our state page lists every bordering county map for Utah.
What a plat shows
Easements on the plat near East Carbon stay with the land when it sells; read the notes on the sheet.
Getting answers from the right desk
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Helper belong with the County Assessor, the office behind the parcel record. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Wellington are for the local planning and health departments, town or county, depending on location.
