Tracking down the Streetsboro plat map
For a subdivision near Sugar Bush Knolls, the deed or parcel record often names the subdivision and plat reference; bring that to the recorder's office or its online index.
Getting to the right map
Property in and around Ravenna can be looked up on the Portage County Beacon site, a viewer that needs no account. Near Ravenna, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. In and around Kent, the parcel card typically gives the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and often a sale date.
Portage County in a few facts
Ravenna holds the county offices, which is where the courthouse records live. Other places on the map include Sugar Bush Knolls, Aurora, Kent, and Mantua, where town lots give way to larger tracts. About 162,665 people live in Portage County (Census estimate, 2023) across roughly 487 square miles. Portage County was formed in 1808, and some chains of title near Aurora are long. Features like West Branch State Park make handy reference points on the map near Ravenna.
Sections, lots and bearings

Streetsboro and the county around it
Streetsboro lies within Portage County, Ohio, which means parcel data comes from the county. Near Kent, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, while the county keeps the tax map. Land beyond the city limits near Ravenna usually answers to county rules instead.
Recorded plat or GIS layer
The Portage County Beacon site draws parcels for taxes, but the recorded plat is what the deed relies on.
A word on accuracy
Acreage on the record is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real boundary for a parcel near Aurora. On ground around Ravenna, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
Lots, blocks and easements
Recorded easements around Ravenna stay with the land when it sells; read the notes on the sheet.
Replats and vacations
Lots near Tallmadge can be combined or reconfigured by a replat, so check for later filings; vacated streets or alleys also get recorded.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements for land near Sugar Bush Knolls sit with the County Recorder. Long-held tracts around Tallmadge can go back through several deeds, and a title company can sort it out on a real sale.
