When a deed near Sinking Spring says lot and block, you'll need the Wyomissing plat map to make sense of it. This Wyomissing guide covers: where to request a copy, how a plat differs from a parcel map, and the details that matter to buyers.
Who keeps the Wyomissing plat map
For land around Sinking Spring, the deed usually cites the plat; use it to request a copy.
Getting to the right map
Begin with the PASDA Pennsylvania Tax Parcels viewer; it covers each tax parcel from Shillington to Kenhorst. If the land is near Sinking Spring, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. For a parcel near Shillington, the record panel normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, a parcel ID and sometimes recent sales.
Metes and bounds instead
Acreage around West Reading outside a subdivision may have no plat at all; the deed and any recorded survey describe it instead.
Backing up the map with records
For anything that matters, request the recorded deed from the Recorder of Deeds; the parcel map near Reading only summarizes it. Around Kenhorst, have ready the instrument number shown in the record panel so staff can find the deed fast.
Getting your bearings
Reading holds the county offices, where most land records are kept. You'll also find West Reading, Shillington, and Kenhorst, where town lots give way to larger tracts. About 432,821 people call Berks County home (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) spread over some 856 square miles. Berks County was organized in 1752, so old deeds can run back a long way. Places such as French Creek State Park help you orient on the aerial around Kenhorst.
Next door to Berks County
Berks County meets Chester County, Lancaster County, Lebanon County, Lehigh County, and Montgomery County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map.

Where Wyomissing fits in
Wyomissing lies within Berks County, Pennsylvania, which means parcel data comes from the county. For acreage around Mohnton, the municipality handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Acreage past the city limits toward Reading often falls under county rules, not municipal ones.
Reading the legal description
Older tracts around Mohnton are often described by metes and bounds, listing bearings, distances and landmarks. Subdivision lots in Kenhorst refer to a recorded plat, which is simpler to follow. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Sinking Spring for any title or survey request.
Two different maps
The tax map on the PASDA Pennsylvania Tax Parcels viewer is a summary, but the recorded plat is what the deed relies on.
Offices that can help
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Shillington go to the county assessment office, which maintains the tax roll. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Sinking Spring are for the local planning and health departments, town or county, depending on location.
On site with the map

Before you lean on the lines
