Where the Taylorville GIS map lives
Parcel maps here are usually run by the county, not the town, which makes the Christian County parcel viewer the main source for lots in Taylorville.
Pulling up a parcel
Your first stop is the Christian County parcel viewer; it covers every assessed parcel around Kincaid and Stonington. If you only know roughly where the land is, zoom in from Edinburg until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want. For a parcel near Tovey, write down the parcel ID while you have it open; each records desk in the county asks for it first.
Taking the map into the field
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Bulpitt, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A screenshot of the parcel near Bulpitt with its ID is a good backup.
Taylorville and the county around it
Taylorville sits in Christian County, Illinois, which means parcel data comes from the county. As the county seat, Taylorville hosts the courthouse, which puts the county Recorder of Deeds (in many counties the County Clerk and Recorder) close by. For property near Stonington, city or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, but the county runs assessment and recording. Acreage past the town limits near Kincaid generally follows county rules rather than the town's.
A quick look at the area
Taylorville is the county seat, home to the main records offices. Other places on the map include Jeisyville, Kincaid, Bulpitt, and Tovey, each with its own cluster of lots. Around 33,228 people live in Christian County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) across roughly 709 square miles. Christian County was formed in 1839, which matters when you trace an old farm's title. Places such as Sangamon River help you orient on the aerial around Bulpitt.
Searching the map
Acreage around Bulpitt might not have a street number, so pan the aerial and click the lot. For a parcel near Stonington, searching by parcel number never misses, and it's printed on tax bills.
Aerials, labels and overlays
An aerial view around Edinburg helps you see where buildings sit inside the lines.
Where the recorded documents are
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, plats and easements covering ground around Kincaid are kept by the county Recorder of Deeds (in many counties the County Clerk and Recorder). Around Edinburg, bring the instrument number shown in the record panel so staff can find the deed fast.
A word on accuracy
Listed acreage is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real lines for a parcel near Kincaid. For a parcel near Tovey, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Getting answers from the right desk
If the acreage or value on a parcel near Kincaid looks off belong with the Supervisor of Assessments, working with township assessors, which maintains the tax roll. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Bulpitt are for the local planning and health departments, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Legal descriptions in Illinois
Illinois uses the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Tovey reference sections and townships. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though real sections near Tovey vary in size. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Kincaid before you request a deed or survey.
Troubleshooting the viewer
If the viewer stalls on a phone near Bulpitt, switch browsers or turn off pop-up blockers; links occasionally change, and our directory page keeps the current one.
What the record panel tells you
Sales history, if listed, helps with pricing around Bulpitt give a rough idea of values; an appraiser is the real authority.
Printing and saving
Print or screenshot the parcel near Jeisyville with its ID visible, so you have it when calling an office.
Land on the county line

A tract near the line by Stonington may be split in two county records, so look at the neighboring map as well.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
