Opening the Springfield GIS map
In most places the county maintains the parcel layer, so for Springfield the go-to is the IntegrityGIS - Christian County.
The free map to start with
Go first to the IntegrityGIS - Christian County; it maps each tax parcel in the county, Ozark included. In and around Clever, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. For land near Fremont Hills, a pop-up or side panel typically gives the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and sometimes recent sales.
City limits and county records

Around Fremont Hills, the municipality handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities inside its limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Lots just outside the town limits near Nixa often follows county rules instead.
