GIS Department

The Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Department is currently located on the second floor of the Courthouse. GIS is a new department created from the State mandated mapping project. GIS handles a wide variety of mapping functions. They support the cartographic needs of other county and city offices, as well as other municipalities, police, fire, EMS, utilities, private companies, surveyors, and the public.

GIS has a growing archive of many map 'layers'. Aerial photos, (ranging from 1941 to current), property boundaries, land use, roads, hydrology, flood zones, elevation, municipal boundaries, water districts, school districts, tax districts, to name a few. They create and maintain new layers as projects develop.

They sell electronic, digital and hard copy paper maps of any layers separate or in any combination. GIS Data layers are also available at a cost dependant on coverage area.

The map cost schedule is:

	8½" x 11"	$2.00
	12" x 18"	$4.00
	24" x 36"	$10.00
	36" x 36"	$12.00

A person can contact this department and get an aerial photo of any property that shows right-of-ways, property lines, creeks and ponds, buildings, flood zones, elevation, soil types, land use, etc. Since this office was created, the information is all kept up-to-date. If they don't have the type of map you need, they can direct you to who does.

You may also get electronic maps on CD or e-mailed to you.
