About Townships and Ranges
Most property in Florida is described in blocks containing 36 square mile sections. These blocks are called "townships". Hamilton County contains more than 40 whole or partial townships.  (See typical Section Map)

 Each township is described by a north or south "township number" and an east or west "range number". These numbers originate at specific point near downtown Tallahassee in north Florida.

02  - 2N - 12E
 In our example  above, the first two numbers are "02" . This tells us that the parcel is located in section 02 (out of 36).  The second four digits, "2N" tells us this one mile section will be located in Township 2N. The next number is "12E" and denoted the Range that this section is in (see the "Jennings" area in the map below).

Refer to the following Hamilton County Township map for geographical reference.
