The Auditor is the Overseer of
the county Plats. All documents dealing with the transfer
of real estate recorded in the Recorder's Office are also filed
in the Auditor's Office. Each document is proofed for
accuracy and the chain of title researched. The document
is then entered into the Transfer Record. Plat and
Transfer Records are maintained showing the ownership of all
parcels of land for taxation purposes. The Auditor may
cause subdivisions to be platted when necessary and accordingly
revise the county plats.
Shelby County implemented GIS
Mapping. This Geographic Information System (GIS) is a
system of computer-generated maps with accuracy far beyond
anything the County has worked with in the past. These are
the maps we currently use to show property ownership lines.
Along with other information, attached to these maps is
assessment, taxable valuation, and tax information. |
