Where Tuscarawas County deeds and plats are kept
Values on a parcel near Bolivar come from the county auditor; the deed itself is filed with the county's land records office. In Ohio the county auditor, not an assessor, appraises real estate, so Tuscarawas County values come from the auditor's office on a six-year reappraisal cycle with an update in year three. Easements and rights-of-way are usually in recorded documents, not on the parcel map, so read the deed itself for a tract near Barrs Mills.

The Census Bureau puts Tuscarawas County at about 567 square miles of land and an estimated 91,874 people (2023).
