Tipton County at a glance: towns and land
Besides Covington, which serves as the county seat, the map covers Munford, Atoka, Brighton, and Burlison. The county dates to 1823, named for Jacob Tipton, 18th-century soldier, and older deeds may still refer to landmarks from that era. About 62,015 people lived in Tipton County in 2023, according to Census Bureau estimates, on roughly 456 square miles. Expect suburban-style lots near Brighton and plenty of rural ground once the subdivisions thin out.
Opening the Tipton County parcel map
The county relies on a state-hosted layer for public parcel viewing: Tennessee Property Viewer. It covers Tipton County along with the rest of Tennessee.

Property lines in Tipton County, Tennessee
Zoom in far enough on a lot in Brighton and you may notice lines crossing driveways or splitting sheds, a normal quirk of tax mapping. Expect irregular shapes around Brighton. Tennessee deeds trace boundaries by bearing and distance, often from one old marker to the next. If a neighbor's fence near Covington and the map disagree, neither one is proof. A survey is.
Behind the map: land records in Tipton County
For land near Burlison, the parcel record is the index; the recorded deed is the source. The office title varies by state (register of deeds, recorder, county clerk or clerk of court), so check the Tipton County government website for the right one. Easements and rights-of-way are usually in recorded documents, not on the parcel map, so read the deed itself for a tract near Peckerwood Point.
