Records Available at the Elkhart County Surveyor's Office:
Over 31,000 files and over 109 GB of historical and current survey information are available in electronic form by either PDF or TIFF. These files are listed with an asterick beside them. These files would be readily available to be transmitted electronically by email request. Files can be scanned and electronically transmitted, but are not currently available in electronic form. The Surveyor's Office meticulously scanned these documents to best preserve the integrity of the documents, photography, sketches, and survey drawings and in doing so created some files that are in excess of 50 MEG which is too large to email by some email carriers and mailboxes. If the file is too large in size, the Surveyor's Office can provide the electronic copy of the file on disk for the material cost for such item.
