The Land Explorer only represents tax parcel lines (not surveyed property lines). In many cases your area may not have accurate locations on the Government Section corners.  The County Surveyors office PLSS remonumentation program is making great strides along with the Auditor’s office in correcting the accuracy of the represented tax parcels and will succeed with continued support.

County Ordinance 21 requires the all surveys performed with St. Louis County be submitted to the County Surveyors office for public display.  The County Surveyors Office maintains these records in original form in our Pike Lake office and electronic form viewable for research from the Survey Explorer application.
