The County Information Portal An Custom Web Based GIS

The County Information Portal is a web-based GIS software application that allows county agencies to easily share tabular and map data. It runs on your server and can be accessed through the internet or on the courthouse intranet. This portal provides access to integrated assessment data, property maps, photographs, scanned deeds, and more, making property research and assessment processes more efficient. It benefits both the assessor's office and the entire county enterprise by reducing phone calls, supporting building permits, sharing GIS maps between departments, providing important information for emergency services, and serving as a search engine for county documents. It is used by real estate agents, appraisers, bankers, lawyers, engineers, surveyors, land management professionals, planners, developers, emergency services, and the general public.
