The Coshocton County tax maps show every parcel in the county with its boundaries, ownership, and lot dimensions, and you can view them two ways: the GIS Data Viewer for the visual map, and the County Auditor’s real estate search for ownership and tax figures. Printed and certified copies come from the county’s GIS and Tax Map Office at 349½ Main Street in Coshocton.
Look Up a Parcel Online
The GIS Data Viewer is the interactive map. It’s hosted through ArcGIS and linked from the county’s GIS and Tax Map Office page, and it refreshes daily with new data from the Auditor’s Office.1Coshocton County. Coshocton County GIS2ArcGIS Experience Builder. Coshocton County Data Viewer Use a current browser such as Chrome, Edge, or Firefox with JavaScript turned on. Once it loads, zoom and pan to the property, switch between aerial and base layers as needed, and click a parcel to open its details. If you already have the parcel number, searching by it is far faster than scrolling the map.
For ownership, assessed value, and tax information, use the Auditor’s real estate search at coshcoauditor.org. You can search by owner name, address, or parcel number, and results include the legal description, valuation, and tax data.3Coshocton County Auditor. Real Estate Search
Watch the “Last Updated” date shown in red on the Auditor’s site. Anything changed after that date won’t appear in your results. For a closing, mortgage payoff, or any other use where the number has to be exact, the county recommends confirming tax amounts with the County Treasurer at 740-622-2731.3Coshocton County Auditor.

Get a Printed or Certified Copy
Printed maps and certified copies come from the GIS and Tax Map Office at 349½ Main Street, Coshocton, OH 43812. The office is open Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Deed and survey questions go to the Deed/Survey Reviewer at 740-622-3184; GIS questions go to the GIS Technician at 740-622-7373.4Coshocton County. GIS and Tax Map Office
Certified copies tend to come up for court filings, zoning applications, and boundary disputes where a plain printout won’t do. Call first to confirm current printing fees, what payment the office takes, and whether your request can be handled by mail instead of a trip in.
When a New Survey Is Required
If you’re splitting off part of a parcel, or the legal description in a new deed doesn’t match the existing records, Ohio law requires a boundary survey plat to be submitted with the deed. The survey has to meet the minimum standards set by the state board of registration for professional engineers and surveyors, and it has to be done by a licensed professional land surveyor. That filing then triggers a tax map update so the Auditor has an accurate description of the new parcels for tax purposes.5Ohio Legislative Service Commission. Ohio Revised Code 315.251 – Boundary Survey Plat
This isn’t optional. A deed with a split or altered description won’t be accepted for transfer without the plat, so if you’re planning a subdivision or a boundary adjustment with a neighbor, build the survey time and cost into your schedule well before closing.
If the Map or Your Value Looks Wrong
For a boundary, acreage, or description error on the tax map itself, start with a call to the GIS and Tax Map Office. Many discrepancies can be fixed administratively once the office looks into them.
Disputes about the assessed value of your property run through a different channel: a formal complaint to the county Board of Revision. Any property owner can file one. The complaint must reach the County Auditor by March 31 of the year following the tax year at issue, or the last day to pay first-half taxes without penalty, whichever is later.6Ohio Department of Taxation. Complaint Against the Valuation of Real Property
Submit everything that supports the value you’re claiming: purchase agreement, appraisal, income and expense statements if the property is rental or commercial. The Board sets a hearing and notifies the parties at least 10 days ahead. Under Ohio Revised Code Section 5715.19(G), evidence you don’t present to the Board generally can’t be introduced later on appeal, so bring it all the first time.6Ohio Department of Taxation. Complaint Against the Valuation of Real Property
While a complaint is pending, you can pay taxes based on the value you’ve claimed rather than the original figure. If the Board ends up at or above the original assessment, interest and possibly a penalty apply to the shortfall.6Ohio Department of Taxation. Complaint Against the Valuation of Real Property
