About the Land Information/GIS Department

The Land Information/GIS Department provides mapping and land records products (parcel assessment, zoning, floodplain, etc.) and services, as well as support for our Geographic Information System (GIS) website both internally and externally. We provide GIS software support in-house to many departments, as well as educate the public in the use of these and other online services. We strive to provide the most up to date information available. The department’s goal is to disseminate county mapping and land records information efficiently to all departments and interested persons countywide.
