Tracking down a Tuscarawas County plat book
For a home near Dennison, a plat book is a privately published atlas, showing rural owners and tract lines, often organized by township.
Pulling up a parcel
Go first to the Ohio Statewide Parcels layer in ArcGIS Map Viewer; it maps each assessed parcel from Bernice to New Philadelphia. When a rural tract has no street number, follow the nearest road on the aerial until the lines appear, then click inside the one you want, whether the land is near Bolivar or elsewhere in the county. With a lot near Wilkshire Hills, the record panel normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
On site with the map
Most viewers work in a phone browser, handy when you're parked on a road near Bolivar, so load it before you lose signal. A printout of the tract near Wilkshire Hills helps when you meet an owner or agent.
Who handles what
Anything recorded against property around Uhrichsville come from the County Recorder, sometimes only in person. Questions about what you can build around Barnhill go to planning, building or health offices, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
