If a legal description for land in Stuart cites a lot number, the Stuart plat map is where those numbers come from. Covered here for Stuart: where to request a copy, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and the details that matter to buyers.
Getting started with the Stuart plat map
For a subdivision near Jupiter Island, the deed usually cites the plat; that makes the request quick.
Getting to the right map
Your first stop is the Martin County parcel viewer; it covers each assessed parcel around Sewall's Point and Ocean Breeze. When a rural tract has no street number, follow US Route 98 on the aerial until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want. If you're looking near Ocean Breeze, a pop-up or side panel usually lists the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and sometimes recent sales.
Neighboring parcel maps
Martin County borders Glades County, Hendry County, Okeechobee County, Palm Beach County, and St. Lucie County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Ground near Ocean Breeze that runs to the line can be split in two county records, so check the adjacent map as well. Around Jupiter Island, our state page lists each neighboring county map across Florida.
Getting your bearings
Stuart is the county seat, home to the main records offices. Smaller places on the map include Sewall's Point, Ocean Breeze, Jupiter Island, and Indiantown, each with its own cluster of lots. Around 163,315 people call Martin County home (Census estimate, 2023) spread over about 544 square miles. Martin County was formed in 1925, so old deeds can run back a long way. Places such as Hobe Sound National Wildlife Refuge help you orient on the aerial around Indiantown.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements covering ground around Ocean Breeze are filed with the Clerk of the Circuit Court (official records). Out toward Jupiter Island, have ready the book and page shown in the record panel and the lookup takes minutes.
Stuart and the county around it
Stuart is part of Martin County, Florida, and the county assessor maps its lots. Stuart is also the county seat, so deeds and plats are filed in town. For a tract near Ocean Breeze, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Land beyond the town limits near Indiantown usually answers to county rules instead.
Recorded plat or GIS layer
The tax map on the Martin County parcel viewer is a summary, while the recorded plat is the legal document.
Taking the map into the field
Most viewers work in a phone browser, useful out on a road near Indiantown, though signal can drop in rural spots. A screenshot of the parcel near Indiantown with its ID is a good backup.
Reading the plat sheet
Recorded easements around Sewall's Point can block a shed or pool; check the plat notes and any covenants.
Legal descriptions in Florida
Florida uses the Public Land Survey System, which means a tract near Ocean Breeze 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 Jupiter Island vary in size. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Indiantown before you request a deed or survey.
When there's no plat
Acreage around Ocean Breeze outside a subdivision may have no plat at all; look for a recorded survey for land there.
Getting answers from the right desk
Deeds, mortgages and recorded plats for land near Indiantown sit in the index kept by the Clerk of the Circuit Court (official records), usually searchable by name or document number. Questions about what you can build around Ocean Breeze go to planning, building or health offices, town or county, depending on location.
Amended plats
Lots near Indiantown can be combined or reconfigured by a replat, search the index for replats of the same subdivision; street vacations near Sewall's Point show up in the records too.
