The Assessor also keeps information on residential and commercial property, provides personal property forms, locates property owners, assists with variance-related property additions, provides tax identification numbers, and keeps plat maps current with deed changes.

GIS data and parcel boundaries

The Delaware County Office of Information and GIS Services manages county web-based applications and provides access to county GIS databases. It is the county point of contact for online mapping and GIS services.

Beacon is identified as Delaware County's main property information retrieval site in the county GIS map applications. The county also provides an open data platform for exploring and downloading data, maps, and applications.

For downloadable datasets, use Delaware County Indiana Open Data. For specific questions about property or parcel boundaries, contact the Auditor's Plat Room.

Data freshness and official verification

Beacon lists a last data upload of June 18, 2026, at 10:39:17 AM on the search interface. The separate last-updated page lists several data uploads from June 17, 2026, including geodata, parcel maintenance, and XSoft data.

The GIS parcel layer is continually updated, but errors and omissions can occur. For parcel dimensions and legal details, use official legal plats, deeds, surveys, and information from the County Auditor, Assessor, and Treasurer's offices.

Do not rely on online map graphics as a substitute for legal records. Beacon states that GIS data does not replace site surveys, deeds, conveyances, engineering plans, or other legal documents.
