Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Interstate 94, so load it before you lose signal. A printout of the tract near Interstate 94 is a good backup.
What the map can't tell you
Parcel lines are drawn for taxes, not measured on the ground, so a fence near Sanders often sits a few yards off the line on screen. Closer to Hysham, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month can take weeks to appear.
Which office to call
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Myers belong with the Montana Department of Revenue, which maintains the tax roll. Building or septic questions for a lot near Interstate 94 go to planning, building or health offices, town or county, depending on location.
Mineral and timber rights
In some areas, mineral or timber rights near Interstate 94 can be sold separately, which a title search can uncover.
Water and soil checks
If you'll need a septic system near Interstate 94, a perc or soil test matters.
Backing up the map with records
The map is an index, not the title: recorded deeds, subdivision plats and easements covering ground around Sanders are kept by the County Clerk and Recorder. For a tract near Interstate 94, inherited tracts in the county can go back through several deeds, so a title company is worth hiring before a purchase.
What you can do with it
