What Is a Corner Lot
A corner lot touches two streets at their intersection.

The plat shows two right-of-way lines and often a clipped corner or a vision easement so drivers can see. Two front setbacks may apply.
On the recorded sheet
The deed still cites one lot number. The extra street frontage does not make it two lots.
The mix-up to avoid
Fences and signs that are fine on an interior side yard can block the sight triangle on a corner.
Find the county map
Start at Platbookmapper, search the county, and open the local GIS link. Write down the parcel number before you compare the screen to a paper plat.
Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey.
