GIS Tools

Rapidly search and display property maps based on owner name, Address, Property ID, or PLSS grid location. Instantly Toggle between Map and Data Views Split or combine land parcels using simple split or combination tools. Advanced COGO tools are provided for capturing survey plats or creating split templates from deeds. Proximity search and buffering tools are provided for identifying properties within a specified distance of a point or linear feature such as a roadway. Map Plotting tools are provide for hardcopy map production.

Workflow Integration

Whenever a mapper splits or combines a parcel, the corresponding record in the mass appraisal database is created or deleted. Whenever parcels are combined, the improvements on those parcels are automatically transferred to the resulting property record. If improvement locations are represented on the map, these improvements are automatically assigned to the appropriate record whenever a split occurs. This process integration reduces error while dramatically increasing worker efficiency.

Video, Photos & Document Images

Video, photos, and document images can be displayed on property maps with a simple mouseover selection function. An unlimited number of photos and document images may be tied to a land parcel record and subsequently displayed on a map.
