    The Tax Map Office is a division of the County Engineer’s Office. Some of the duties include reviewing and indexing land surveys prepared by professional surveyors, adding parcel linework to the County Auditor’s GIS that is used for taxation purposes, and approving descriptions on new deed transfers.

    Geographic Information Systems (GIS)

    GIS in Lorain County is available through the Lorain County Auditor.  The Tax Map Office maintains the linework for the GIS. These maps do have lines, dimensions, and acreages, but the intent of the map is for taxing purposes of parcels in Lorain County. Property lines are ONLY APPROXIMATE and should NOT be relied on as true indication of a boundary. Consult a professional surveyor to establish true locations of lines and mark them accordingly.

    Need tax map revisions or information? Aerial photos or plats? The Tax Map Office is responsive to these requests.
