When a deed near Craig Beach says lot and block, the Sebring plat map is where those numbers come from. This Sebring guide covers: where to request a copy, plat versus tax map, and what to look for on the sheet.
Tracking down the Sebring plat map
For a lot in Sebring, the deed usually cites the plat; bring that to the recorder's office or its online index.
Getting to the right map
Lots and tracts near Salem appear on the Mahoning County parcel viewer, which opens without registering. If you're looking near Washingtonville, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the matching parcel lights up. In and around Canfield, a pop-up or side panel normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
Offices that can help

Legal descriptions in Ohio

Limits of the parcel data

Backing up the map with records
