The official viewer behind the York GIS map
For a parcel near Sharon, some cities also run their own GIS portal for utilities or zoning; that can add detail on top of the county map.
The viewer York County publishes
Your first stop is the York County ArcGIS parcel map; it includes every assessed parcel from Tega Cay to Hickory Grove. For land near Tega Cay, put in a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, and the viewer zooms to the match. Near McConnells, the parcel card normally shows the owner of record, assessed acreage, a parcel ID and in many cases the last transfer.
Where York fits in
York is part of York County, South Carolina, and the county assessor maps its lots. York is also the county seat, so deeds and plats are filed in town. Out toward Rock Hill, city or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Lots just outside the town limits toward Clover often follows county rules rather than the town's.
Recorded documents worth pulling
When the details count, get the recorded deed from the Register of Deeds (in some counties the Clerk of Court); the parcel line is a drawing of it. Closer to Sharon, have ready the document number from the tax record so staff can find the deed fast.
A word on accuracy
Tax maps are drawn for assessment, not measured on the ground, so a tree line near Clover often sits a few yards off the line on screen. Closer to Rock Hill, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
