For the transfer of property ownership in Clinton County, all deeds are subject to approval by the Map Office. Tax maps showing property ownership for the 24,000 plus parcels that are in Clinton County are maintained by the Map Office as required by statute for the County Auditor’s tax assessment.

The office is under the direction of Jeff Linkous, Clinton County Engineer.

Individual maps are available for purchase by the public. The office is open 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Friday.
