I hear about getting permission from land owners to hunt, but seems not everybody lives on the land I drive past. wanted to find out if I can find a map and list on the internet or where do I go? Thanks
I'm not sure about the internet but if you go to your county courthouse to the assessors office, they will have plat books for every parcel in the county and who owns them. Blessings.......Pastorjim
That just totally depends on the county. Some have interactive maps with all the info. Others you would have to go to county offices and request the info. Sent from my DROID X2 using Tapatalk 2
Plat map is the way to go. St. Louis Co here in MN has a a download for Google Earth. It shows rough property lines and when you click on a property, the plat information pops up.
Neat little product here in the NW is hunting GPS maps. Load it into your GPS and you step on, or indicate a piece of property and it tells you who owns it, where the property boundries are AND where you are in relation to those boundries. Spendy, about $100 and updates yearly for $20. Know they are available for WA, OR ID, MT.
Most counties have a GIS site. Just google search county name, state and gis. This is how how I get contact info for land owners. For instance my search for Boone county in Indiana would be "Boone County Indiana GIS" Good luck. Mike Sent from my iPhone
This is probably your best option, your county offices might have a private GIS program on the computers that you can access through them it just depends on the county.
We live in Woodson County Kansas (very rural) and this is how to find out land owner info near us. I think some of your smaller, more rural, and poor counties wont use the higher tech google earth and gps methods mentioned above.
The last time I attempted to locate a landowner of a certain plot of property to ask for permission all I could locate was a bunch of different trusts that provided little to no information. I contacted the banks that were listed as trusts and they would not share with me the landowner of each property. It was just a struggle when most of them were listed as "Johnson Land Trust" or "State Bank Land Trust". Hope your search goes easier than ours!
http://beacon.schneidercorp.com/Default.aspx You might give this site a try - a few of the counties I hunt in Indiana have access to the data on this site, some of them don't. It's worth giving a try because this is a very valuable tool. In fact, I had been hunting a property for 2 years - when I discovered this site I also discovered that I man (non-hunter) that I know very well owned about 50 acres (30ish wooded) that connected to the land I was hunting. I gained permission to hunt the land and basically doubled the amount of wooded acres I had to hunt.
