Where Tuscaloosa fits in
Tuscaloosa lies within Tuscaloosa County, Alabama, and the county assessor maps its lots. As the county seat, Tuscaloosa hosts the courthouse, so deeds and plats are filed in town. For a parcel near Northport, city or town hall handles things like zoning, permits and utilities for lots inside the boundary, while the county keeps the tax map. Acreage past the city limits toward Brookwood usually answers to county rules, not municipal ones.
Reading the owner field
When a business holds title near Brookwood, the state registry names who receives mail for it. "Estate of" on a record near Lake View usually means title hasn't passed yet after a death, so the personal representative is the contact.
Reading the legal description

Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though sections near Coker can be irregular. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Lake View for any title or survey request.
