Checking easements on a house in Tallmadge? What you want is the Tallmadge plat map, since it shows lots, streets and easements as approved. This Tallmadge guide covers: where to request a copy, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and what to look for on the sheet.
Getting started with the Tallmadge plat map
For a subdivision near Aurora, look for the plat book reference on the parcel record; bring that to the recorder's office or its online index.
Where the parcel data lives
Go first to the Portage County Beacon site; it maps every tax parcel in the county, Kent included. If the land is near Kent, enter a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. If the land is near Mogadore, 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.
City limits and county records
Tallmadge sits in Portage County, Ohio, which means parcel data comes from the county. For a tract near Kent, city or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Lots just outside the city limits near Streetsboro usually falls under county rules instead.
How a plat differs from the tax map
The tax map on the Portage County Beacon site is a summary, but the recorded plat is what the deed relies on.
When there's no plat
Acreage around Kent outside a subdivision may have no plat at all; look for a recorded survey for land there.
What a plat shows
Easements on the plat near Sugar Bush Knolls limit where you can build or fence; check the plat notes and any covenants.
What the map can't tell you
The acreage figure is an estimate; only a licensed surveyor can set the real boundary on land around Kent. If you're looking near Mogadore, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Replats and vacations
An amended plat may change lots around Streetsboro, so check for later filings; street vacations show up in the records too.
Deeds, plats and who keeps them
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, plats and easements covering ground around Kent are kept by the County Recorder. For property near Mogadore, have ready the instrument number shown in the record panel and the lookup takes minutes.
Field tips
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Mogadore, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Ravenna with its ID helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Requesting the plat
For a tract near Sugar Bush Knolls, some counties put plat images online, while others require a visit or a request; small fees are common.
Which office to call
For assessment questions about property around Kent go to the County Auditor, since that office keeps the assessment data. Building or septic questions for a lot near Mogadore are for the local planning and health departments, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
Reading the legal description
Tracts outside towns near Kent commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, which trace the boundary call by call. Subdivision lots in Ravenna are typically described by lot and block, which is simpler to follow. Write down the legal description for the tract near Sugar Bush Knolls when you talk to a surveyor.
Getting your bearings
Ravenna serves as the county seat, home to the main records offices. You'll also find Mogadore, Kent, Sugar Bush Knolls, and Streetsboro, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Around 162,665 people live in Portage County (Census estimate, 2023) spread over some 487 square miles. Portage County dates to 1808, which matters when you trace an old farm's title. Features like West Branch State Park are easy to spot when you zoom out from Sugar Bush Knolls.
Neighboring parcel maps

Ground near Mogadore that runs to the line may be split across two assessors' files, so check the neighboring map as well.
